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);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).setAttribute(attribute,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getAttribute(attribute);
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 3-82: 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
on
Determines whether you can use the pointinsketch property. It can be off in models made in version 6.0 or earlier.
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 contains the vertices to fillet in the usual geometry visualization. The pointinsketch property contains the vertices to fillet in the sketch visualization. These properties are automatically kept synchronized.
Additional properties are available with the Design Module, see Fillet.
The following attributes are available:

Default
Description
construction
on | off | inherit
inherit
Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.
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.
