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
    or
Curve length

 

Curve length

2 curves have not

the same number

Curve length

Curve length

 

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.
