Fillet

Create circular rounded corners (fillets) in 2D geometry objects. The Design Module supports 3D fillets.

Syntax

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Fillet");

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Fillet") to round corners in 2D.

Use model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("point") to select which corners to round. The default selection is empty.

Table 3-54: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
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.

Compatibility

In version 3.5a, the default was to fillet all vertices in the input objects.

The properties edges, out, and radii are no longer available.

Example

Fillet a rectangle object:

Code for use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");

GeomSequence g = model.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');

g = model.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.
