Searching Fillets

You can search fillets on a surface, and enable the detection of variable fillets on top of constant fillets.

  1. From the Die Face section of the action bar, click Fillet Search .
  2. Select the Stamping Drection.

    The Z-Axis of the stamping direction is used to analyze the convexity of the fillets.

  3. Select the shape to analyze.

    Multi-selection is supported.

  4. Select a Convexity Analysis option.
    • Keep All
    • Concave Only
    • Convex Only.
  5. Click Apply.
    Fillet Search
    • Computes the fillets detected on the surface.
    • Displays the results as a list, with for each fillet
      • Its name.
      • The values of the minimum and maximum radius.
  6. Optional: Expand Radius Ranges to sort the results in Geometrical Sets, using ranges of radii.
    1. Click Create Range Set.
      A Range Set (Geometrical Set) named Fillet Search - xxmm to yy mm is created.
    2. Optional: Select a line and edit the minimum and the maximum radius of the Range Set.
    3. Repeat as necessary.
  7. Back in the main dialog box, click OK.

Fillets are created.

  • A Geometrical Set is created in the tree.
  • It contains a Fillet Search feature, and the fillets sorted by type.

    Each fillet is stored with its radius values.

  • If you had defined Range Sets, fillets are sorted accordingly by range them by type.

    Fillets that do not belong to a specified range are added to the other sets.
