Multi-Edge Fillets with Propagation

In CATIA V4, it is possible to create a Fillet by selecting several Edges. But in CATIA V5, the process is not the same, there are different propagation modes (tangency and manual) and several Fillet Features.

This task shows you how V4 Multi-propagation Fillets can be migrated into several V5 Fillet Features (one per propagation type).

Open FILLET_MULTI_PROPAGATION_2_MANUAL_PUIS_2_AUTO.model.

  1. Apply a Check AS SPEC on *SET1.

  1. Double-click one of the three messages to have more details about the components:

This solid contains 2 Fillet Features. FILL3 is defined by 2 Edges with 2 propagation modes.

  1. Copy/Paste AS SPEC the .model into a CATPart. 

In the Specification Tree, there is a Feature per propagation mode. In this example, you can see 2 Features corresponding to FILL3 in CATIA V4 and representing 2 modes of propagation (Tangency and Minimal):
  • EdgeFillet.2 (FILL3)
  • EdgeFillet.3 (FILL3) 
The sequential order in which the user had selected the Edges for propagation in CATIA V4 is respected in the Specification Tree in CATIA V5.
EdgeFillet.3 has two results (2 EdgeFillets) in CATIA V5. Double-click EdgeFillet.3 to edit it:
