A Composite Curve feature defines a 2D curve object having several edges of different types. It has a sequence of subnodes (child features) of the
Polygon,
Circular Arc,
Interpolation Curve,
Quadratic Bézier, and
Cubic Bézier types. The child features always form a connected curve chain (open or closed). You can create a
Composite Curve feature node (
) in the following ways:
By default, the Object type list is set to
Curve. If you choose
Solid from the
Object type list, a closed composite curve will give a solid geometry object.
Select the Resulting objects selection check box to create predefined selections (for all levels — objects, domains, boundaries, edges, and points — that are applicable) in subsequent nodes in the geometry sequence. To also make all or one of the types of resulting entities (domains, boundaries, edges, and points) that the cone consists of available as selections in all applicable selection lists (in physics and materials settings, for example), choose an option from the
Show in physics (
Show in instances if in a geometry part) list:
All levels,
Domain selection,
Boundary selection,
Edge selection, or
Point selection. The default is
Domain selection, which is suitable for use with materials and physics defined in domains. For use with a boundary condition, for example, choose
Boundary selection. These selections do not appear as separate selection nodes in the model tree. Select
Off to not make any selection available outside of the geometry sequence. From the
Color list, choose a color for highlighting the resulting objects selection. See
Selection Colors.
Select the Construction geometry check box to make the resulting objects available only in the feature’s geometry sequence. For more information, see
Construction Geometry.
