Hi all,
I am working on a series of single curved panels. They are derived from filleting two sides of a tapered truncated pyramid. As you can see in the screenshot the fillet radius (V Isocurve) is 350mm .
I have to identify the curvature direction and I sketched two methods, gh file attached below.(Method 2 is actually a piece of code I took from an old post of David Rutten, I (well…Claude did) just translated to C#.
In my naivety I would have expected the radius of the identified curve to be 350mm, as per fillet radius, but it’s not the case as the reference surface is a tapered pyramid.
The main problem here is that I would have expected all the panel surfaces to show at least the same curve radius, as they all come from the same original surface. I understand that both methods are approximations of curvature, but some of the discrepancies are in the range of several millimeters. It doesn’t sound like much, but it was enough to give me the itch that something might be off.
Any idea or suggestion would be much appreciated.
P.S.: all the panels are created splitting and trimming the original surface, so the curvature should be consistent.
Thank you!
Paolo
