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.

Table 3-58: Valid Property/Value Pairs
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.
pointinsketch	Selection		Vertices to fillet in sketch geometry.
radius	double	0	Radius of fillet.
selectinsketch	on \| off	off	Determines which selection to show in the user interface (pointinsketch or point).
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.

The point property always contains the vertices to fillet in the usual geometry visualization. If the Fillet feature was created in the sketch visualization, the property selectinsketch is on, and the selection pointinsketch contains the vertices to fillet in the sketch visualization.

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.
