SimLab – Identify Slot and Sharp Edges
Product: SimLab
Product Version: SimLab 2020.1 or above
Slot Edges
Slots are formed when two arc edges are connected with two straight edges. Slot edges present in planar faces can be identified using this option. Minimum and maximum radius value can be used to identify slot edges within a radius range of the arc edge. This support is added to identify slot edges in CAD/FEM.
Sharp Edges
Sharp edges can be identified based on the angle between the faces connected to the edge. Convex or concave edges will be distinguished based on face normal, if face normal points away from each other than the edges are identified as convex and if face normal points towards each other than the edges are identified as concave.
