Feature Detect Fillets

  The Feature Detect Fillets option detects fillet regions and puts them into subsets.

Surfaces to check

Select the surfaces in which to check for fillets.

Min fillet length

Specify the minimum fillet length.

Max fillet length

Specify the maximum fillet length.


Note:  The fillet length can be found using the equation:

L = R * θ * π / 180.

where R = radius of the fillet and θ = fillet angle in degrees.

All the fillets with lengths between the specified maximum and minimum lengths will be placed in the subset.


Min fillet curvature

Specify the fillet curvature angle in degrees. All the fillets whose curvature is greater than the specified curvature will be placed in the subset.

Relative Tolerance

If this is disabled, then 0.001 will be used as the (default) relative tolerance. If enabled, the relative tolerance for fillet detection can be specified. The absolute tolerance will be calculated as relative tolerance * curve length.

Fillets are detected if its boundaries are created from arcs. To check whether a curve is an arc, the curve deviation from an arc will be checked using this tolerance.
