Note
When migrating CATIA V4 tritangent fillets, resulting tritangent fillet
shapes may slightly differ in CATIA V5. This is due to the use of different
geometrical definitions.
- In V4, a tritangent fillet is based on two variable spheres.
- In V5, a tritangent fillet is based only on a variable tritangent
circle.
This slight difference of shapes can be increased if the faces to be
filleted are not normal to the face that will be removed during the
filleting process. The example below illustrates it thru a solid including
an important draft angle. However, despite the difference with a tritangent
fillet that would be created directly in V5, the whole volume remains the
same. |
