Tiny_Wire

This check verifies whether the length of a wire (curve path) is smaller than the specified value. If not, the element is considered as incorrect.

Context

If the length of a curve path is smaller than a specified value, the element can become invalid or degenerate. It can also generate gaps later on in the design process, for example after specific design operation such as scalings or offsets.

Tiny wires can be created involuntarily in the following situations:

  • Performing a filleting operation.
  • Closing a mechanism by bridging small gaps.
  • Closing a mechanism by overlapping features or entities.

Check Information

Check Details Description
Applicable to: PartFeature
Automatic Solution:
Check Parameters:
  • MaxLength: Length type.

    Specifies the maximum length allowed for a curve. Above this value, the curve is considered as incorrect.

    Note: If the range of non-allowed values starts at zero, deselect the option.

  • MinLength: Length type.

    Specifies the minimum length allowed for a curve.

    Every shorter element is considered as incorrect, except for the elements with a set “Length greater than” parameter.
