Computing method
The computing method influences the disposal of all the synchronizations. TopSolid'Cam is going to put in automatic mode synchronizations between the lower curve and the upper one. This computing method defines how to make it
Two methods of calculation are available Parametric or Curve length
These two computing method does not influence segments, or arcs of a circle. Only curves "spline" are concerned.
This option is available only in following cases:
|
|
By elements |
By length |
By boundary |
|
2 curves have the same number of elements |
Parametric

Curve length |

2 curves have not the same number of elements |

Sample with 2 curves "spline":

Curve length
The synchronizations are calculated according to the length of every element.
1 % of the length of the bottom curve = 1 % of the length of the upper curve.

Parametric
The synchronizations are calculated according to the parameter of every curve.
Parameter 0.1 of the bottom curve = Parameter 0.1 of the upper curve.
