Edge Meshing Parameters

The edge meshing parameter task is automated to provide you with unlimited flexibility in specifying bunching requirements. Assigning the edge meshing parameters occurs after the development of the block topology model. This feature is accessible by selecting Blocking > Edge params.

You can use the following predefined Mesh laws. These are described in Bunching Laws:

  • Bi-Geometric (default)

  • Bi-Exponential

  • Curvature

  • Exponential 1

  • Exponential 2

  • FullCosinus

  • Geometric 1

  • Geometric 2

  • HalfCosinus1

  • HalfCosinus2

  • Hyperbolic

  • Linear

  • Poisson

  • Spline

  • Uniform

In addition to the predefined edge meshing functions, there are several interactive or user-defined Mesh laws available in the drop-down list.

The interactive or user-defined mesh laws include:

  • FromGraphs

    Note:  By selecting this option, a dialog box opens in which you select a source file or function and then add, delete, or otherwise modify the control points describing the edge parameter settings.

  • FromEdgePoints

  • OnScreen

Additional tools such as Linked Bunching and multiple Copy options provide you with the ability to apply the specified edge bunching parameters quickly to the entire model.

Tip:  You can use variables in a replay script as a means to parameterize edge parameters. See Parameterizing Edge Parameters for details.
