Fillet
Create circular rounded corners (fillets) in 2D geometry objects. The Design Module supports 3D fillets.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Fillet");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);
Description
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Fillet") to round corners in 2D.
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("point") to select which corners to round. The default selection is empty.

Property
Value
Default
Description
color
none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme
none
The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
customcolor
RGB-triplet
Next available theme color
The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
point
Selection
 
Vertices to fillet.
radius
double
0
Radius of fillet.
selresult
on | off
off
Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow
all | obj | dom | bnd | pnt | off
dom
Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto
String
none
Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.
Example
Fillet a rectangle object:
Code for Use with Java
Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");
model.component().create("comp1");
GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",2);
g.create("r1","Rectangle");
g.create("fil1","Fillet");
g.feature("fil1").selection("point").set("r1(1)",new int[]{1,2,3,4});
g.feature("fil1").set("radius",0.1);
g.run();
Code for Use with MATLAB
model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');
model.component.create('comp1');
g = model.component('comp1').geom.create('geom1',2);
g.create('r1','Rectangle');
g.create('fil1','Fillet');
g.feature('fil1').selection('point').set('r1(1)',1:4);
g.feature('fil1').set('radius',0.1);
g.run;
Diagnostics
If Fillet does not succeed in creating a rounded corner according to the specified radius, the vertex is skipped. When a fillet intersects another edge, the function generates an error message.
