Re: CREO 2.0: Creating surface/volume regions in subcomponents of assembly
When you want to add a surface region at the assembly level, you click on the component you want to add the surface, and what this does is activate that component and turn all other components...

Once you add a surface region to a part, you don't have to keep adding it, because it's stored in the input file.

Re: tracing the edge of a cutting tool (toolpath)
Yeah, I realized that I wasn't being very clear. I was trying to say we can rule out these types of cases: I actually like your algorithm. It'll be slower than Richard's method (I think), but it'd be...

I guess my algo would deal with all those cases, too. You just have to takle care of numerical inaccuracies - just use a slightly smaller radius when you delete the points just to be sure that points...

A slight modification to what you suggest: First go along both the red and green lines and check for any intersection with either another segment in the green line, or another segment in the red line....
View ArticleRe: tracing the edge of a cutting tool (toolpath)
Good idea. I guess every point of intersection will be added twice to the list and at the end both will have survived. So the last phase of the algorithm would be the deletion of those duplicates.

There is another modification that would improve the accuracy of the final shape a lot. As the paths are built, instead of just adding two points on each side of the path, divide the circle...
View ArticleRe: Possible accuracy issue - need help!!!!
Under the configuration options, add "enable_absolute_accuracy" and set to "yes". Then change it to maybe 0.006 to start. You could make 0.0001. Just try different settings until it works.

Then we begin at one arbitrary point and go along the graph until we get a a point where the graph crosses itself. We add that point to the graph (twice) and then we change the branch, that is we ar...

If you isolate a component, it will ONLY exclude it from measure in the run summary file and not the legend level. And you must remember to check the exclude elements in the run study window. The...

My approach would be that the whole path (green and red) is a closed loop - the half circles at the ends close it and that loop has an orientation (= the order in the vector, so one of the two halves...
