Curvature Map

Access: Open this function from the following location:

Select Analysis > Main Tools > Curvature Map from the menu bar.

Map the different curvature radii of faces and then color the faces giving each range of radii a different color.


Curvature Map displayed on a part showing the curvature analysis result of different radii of faces.	The Curvature Ranges dialog is used to define: The colors that represent specific radii of curvature. The radii that limit the curvature ranges.

Note: The Curvature Map works on B-rep faces and Mesh objects. For Mesh objects:

- Use the Object Filter from the Quick Geometry Filter to select a Mesh object.
- Due to the faceted nature of Mesh objects, approximate curvature results are obtained.

General Interaction

The following is the Feature Guide for Curvature Map.

Tip: You can open the Feature Guide at any time by right-clicking the mouse in the graphic display area.

Required Step 1 : Pick the faces or Mesh objects to undergo curvature analysis and then <exit><exit>(middle mouse button).

Required Step 2 : Set the analysis parameters.
