How is the Offset Representation Calculated?
When an object is moving along known directions (translations only) you
can use the offset command with "Along Fixed Vectors" option to calculate
the object envelope.
The offset representation is obtained by:
- Adding an offset to a selected set of shapes (surfaces or volumes)
along selected vectors.
- Defining the offset values along each vector.
The vectors used in the command are defined by an axis system.
The values xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax , zmin and zmax correspond to the
offset values along the vectors of the axis system.
The offset values can take any positive or negative values.
How Does the Offset Impact the Final
Result?
The following example aims at illustrating the impact of the offset
value on the final result.
