geometry create feature blend

Creates a chamfer or fillet (blend) on a vertex or edge on a rigid body.

Format:

 
geometry create feature blend
blend_name =
a new blend
subtype =
sub_type
subids =
integer
chamfer =
boolean
radius1=
length
radius2 =
length
reference_marker =
an existing marker
locations =
location

Example:

 
geometry create feature blend &
blend_name =
BLEND__1 &
subtype =
edge &
subids =
10 &
chamfer =
yes &
radius1 =
0.15 &
reference_marker =
Origin

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
blend_name
A New Blend
Specifies the name of the blend to be created or modified.
subtype
Sub_type
Specifies whether you are creating the blend on an edge or vertex:
subids
Integer
Specifies the Parasolid tags identifying the vertices or edges based on the selected subtype.
chamfer
Boolean
Specifies whether or not to chamfer the edge or vertex
radius1
Length
Specifies the width of the chamfer bevel or radius of the fillet.
radius2
Length
Specifies the end radius for a fillet. Adams View uses the value you enter for radius1 as the starting radius of the variable fillet.
reference_marker
An Existing Marker
Specifies the marker that is used to define the location of the blend.
locations
Location
Specifies the location of the vertices or edges used to define the blend relative to the reference marker.

Extended Definition:

1. The subtype parameter specifies whether you are creating the blend on an edge or vertex:
■edge - Creates the blend on the edge of an object.
■vertex - Creates the blend on the vertex of an object.
2. The chamfer parameter specifies whether or not to chamfer the edge or vertex:
■no - Creates a fillet instead of a chamfer.
■yes - Creates a chamfer.

Tips:

1. If you do not specify a reference marker, Adams View uses the reference marker of the geometry.
