.
The dialog box opens: |
|
-
Enter a value in the
Diameter field. The Section is automatically computed.
As an alternative, you can enter the
Section, the Diameter will be computed.
|
The bend radius must be at least equal to the Diameter
value to insure the correct bundle segment route computation. A
message warns you if it is not the case. |
-
Enter a value for the
Bend Radius.
The Bend Radius is the minimum bend
radius allowed for the bundle segment.
As an alternative, you can select the Bend Radius Ratio
option and set the ratio: the Bend Radius
is automatically computed.
-
Select the Mode:
The different options are:
- Slack:
the bundle segment length is increased by the percentage indicated
in the Slack(%) field. The Length field is
disabled.
- Length:
the bundle segment length is indicated in the Length
field. The Slack(%) field is disabled.
- Bend:
the bundle segment length corresponds to the minimum distance
between the points defining its route. The Slack(%)
and Length fields are disabled.
|
At this stage, the bundle
segment parameters are defined.
You now need to route the bundle segment to be able to complete the
definition: through this operation, you will create the geometrical
representation of the Flexible Curve.
Note that OK and Apply are deactivated.
-
See the
next task which explains how to route the
bundle segment according to the geometrical constraints.
