Conic ParameterThe Conic parameter option allows you to vary the section of the fillet. For a parameter comprised between or equal to:
Notes:
Edges to KeepYou can specify the edges of support body to be kept and create fillet surfaces with Hold Curve and Keep Edge as supports wherever necessary. This helps in two different situations:
The Edge(s) to keep box is not selectable by default. If a hold curve is selected, the Edge(s) to keep box becomes selectable. As soon as an edge to be kept is selected, it turns purple.
Limiting ElementLimiting element lets you define a trimming element. Once you have selected that element, an arrow appears on it to indicate the portion of material that will be kept. If you wish to keep the opposite portion of material, click this arrow to reverse the direction. You can select the 2D output sketches, 2D output profiles, and 2D layout profiles as limiting element. You can right-click Limiting element and select any contextual command to create a limiting element. If you create any of elements using contextual, the app then displays the corresponding icon in front of the Limiting element box. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the element. Hold CurveInstead of entering a radius value, you can use a hold curve to compute the fillet. Depending on the curve's shape, the fillet's radius value is more or less variable. The curve must be sketched on one of the selected faces. The Generative Shape Design product license is required to access this capability. You can right-click the Hold Curve box and select any contextual command to create curves. If you create any elements using contextual commands, the app displays the corresponding icon in front of the Hold Curve box. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the element. SpineA spine provides better control of the fillet. The spine you select can be a wireframe element or a Sketcher element. To compute the fillet, the app uses circles contained in planes normal to the spine. It is then possible to control the shape of the fillet. You can right-click the Spine box and select any contextual command. If you create any elements using contextual commands, the app displays the corresponding icon in front of the Spine box. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the element. |
