This task shows how to analyze the mapping curvature of a surface. |
|
The Curvature command shows the curvature of the polygonal mesh in the
form of a color map on the mesh. Gaussian and Mean curvature will be
available. |
|
Open the
CurvatureAnalysis1.CATPart document. |
|
- The discretization option should be set to a maximum: in Tools
-> Options -> Display -> Performances, set the 3D Accuracy ->
Fixed option to 0.01.
- Check the Material option in the View -> Render Style
-> Customize View command to be able to see the analysis results on
the selected element.

-
Define the curvature colors using the combo list.
-
Set the mapping type:
-
Set the color scale:
-
Define the color position and range by manipulating
directly the color scale in the dialog box.
-
Select the polygonal mesh.
-
Click Apply to visualize the result of the
analysis.
