Small_Curvature_Radius_in_Surface

This check verifies whether the curvature radius of a surface is smaller than the specified value. If so, the element is considered as incorrect.

Context

Surfaces are often based on curves. To mill surfaces correctly, the curve radius of a surface may not be smaller than the minimum value specified for every single point.

The minimum curvature radius of a surface limits the maximum distance of an offset surface. Small curvature radiuses may generate issues when creating offset curves or offset surfaces from this curve.

Check Information

Automatic Solution:
Check Parameters:
  • MinCurvatureRadius: Length type.

    Specifies the minimum curvature radius allowed.

  • CheckOnlyFaceArea: Boolean type.

    Checks either the limits of the face or the maximum limits of its underlying surface.
