Specifying a Functional Area by a Stable Split Curve

Use Stable Split Curve to specify two stable points on a surface boundary or a wire. The resulting split defines a stable working area.

  1. Pick twice a surface boundary or a wire.

    • The results of the picks are points on a curve, at a distance of a vertex.
    • You can drag a point, possibly on a vertex (The geometry is automatically updated).
    • The two picks can be on the same or on two related supports.
    • You can also select the start or end of existing stable split curves.
    • They are the start and the end of the stable split curve.
    • At any time, you can delete one point and select another.

  2. Enter a Total length variation tolerance.

    A warning is displayed if the length of the stable split curve exceeds this value.

  3. Under More, specify the area to keep.
  4. Specify the type of discontinuity to check at update (None, G0, G1 or G2).

    A warning is displayed if a discontinuity if found.
