HybridShapeCircleBitangentPoint

Represents the hybrid shape circle object defined using a point and tangent to

two curves.

Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape circle object.

This data includes:

The circle passing point

The two curves to which the circle is tangent

The surface that supports the circle

The orientation of each curve

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeCircleBitangentPoint

object.

property begin_of_circle: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property BeginOfCircle() As long

Return or Set the number of the beginning curve of the circle. This

parameter is used to stabilize the resulting circle

Example:

This example set the beginning wire index of

the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle

hybShpcircle.BeginOfCircle = 1

Return type:

int

property curve1: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Curve1() As Reference

Returns or sets the first curve to which the circle is or will be

tangent.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): TriDimFeatEdge or

BiDimFeatEdge.

Example:

This example retrieves in HybShpCircleFirstCurve the first curve to

which the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is tangent.

Dim HybShpCircleFirstCurve As Reference

HybShpCircleFirstCurve = HybShpCircle.Curve1

Return type:

Reference

property curve2: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Curve2() As Reference

Returns or sets the second curve to which the circle is or will be

tangent.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): TriDimFeatEdge or

BiDimFeatEdge.

Example:

This example sets the second curve to which the HybShpCircle hybrid

shape circle will be tangent to Crv5.

HybShpCircle.Curve2 Crv5

Return type:

Reference

property discrimination_index: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property DiscriminationIndex() As long

Return or set the discrimination index of the current circle. Several

resulting solutions produced by the operator can be same oriented regarding to

the input wire bodies. In such a case, they are sorted in order to distinguish

them. The Sequence FirstOrientation - SecondOrientation - DiscriminationIndex

allows you to identify a unique one-domain solution.

Example:

This example set the discrimination index of

the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle

hybShpcircle.DiscriminationIndex = 2

Return type:

int

property orientation1: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Orientation1() As long

Returns or sets the orientation of the first curve to which the circle is

tangent.

Role: The orientation of the first curve determines the side of this curve

taken into account to find the point where the circle is tangent to the curve.

This side is determined by the cross product of the normal to the support and a

tangent to the curve oriented using the curve orientation.

Legal values: 1 to state that the side of the curve to be taken into

account is the side shown by the vector resulting from this cross product, and

-1 otherwise.

Example:

This example sets the orientation of the first curve to which the

HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is tangent to

reverse.

HybShpCircle.Orientation1 -1

Return type:

int

property orientation2: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Orientation2() As long

Returns or sets the orientation of the second curve to which the circle is

tangent.

Role: The orientation of the second curve determines the side of this curve

taken into account to find the point where the circle is tangent to the curve.

This side is determined by the cross product of the normal to the support and a

tangent to the curve oriented using the curve orientation.

Legal values: 1 to state that the side of the curve to be taken into

account is the side shown by the vector resulting from this cross product, and

-1 otherwise.

Example:

This example retrieves in HybShpCircleOrientation the orientation of

the second curve to which the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is

tangent.

HybShpCircleOrientation = HybShpCircle.Orientation2

Return type:

int

property pt: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Pt() As Reference

Returns or sets the circle passing point. This point must lie on second

curve.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Vertex.

Example:

This example retrieves the passing point of the HybShpCircle hybrid

shape circle in HybShpCirclePassingPoint point.

Dim HybShpCirclePassingPoint As Reference

Set HybShpCirclePassingPoint = HybShpCircle.Pt

Return type:

Reference

property support: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property Support() As Reference

Returns or sets the circle support surface.

Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Face.

Example:

This example retrieves in HybShpCircleSupportSurf the support surface

of the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle.

Dim HybShpCircleSupportSurf As Reference

HybShpCircleSupportSurf = HybShpCircle.Support

Return type:

Reference

property tangent_orientation1: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property TangentOrientation1() As long

Returns or sets the tangent orientation of the circle first reference

element. compared to the circle itself

Example:

This example retrieves the tangent orientation of first reference

element of

the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle in firstOrient.

Dim firstOrient As long

firstOrient = hybShpcircle.FirstTangentOrientation

Return type:

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property TangentOrientation2() As long

Returns or sets the tangent orientation of the circle second reference

element. compared to the corner itself

Example:

This example retrieves the tangent orientation of second reference

element of

the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle in secondOrient.

property trim_mode: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property TrimMode() As long

Returns or sets whether the circle reference curves are or should be

trimmed.

Legal values: 0 if the circle reference curves are not or should not be

trimmed, 1 if the circle reference curves are or should be trimmed, 2 if only

the first circle reference curve is or should be trimmed, 3 if only the second

circle reference curve is or should be trimmed,
