To Display Minimum Radius of a Curve or Edge
1. Click > > . The Radius dialog box opens. Quick is the default analysis type.
2. Click in the Geometry collector and select one or more curves or edges on the object for the analysis. The name of the selected curve or edge is displayed in the Geometry collector.
The minimum radius value for the selected curve or edge is computed and displayed in the result area at the bottom of the Radius dialog box. A vector is displayed with the minimum radius value for the selected curve or edge in the Creo Parametric graphics window.
| To clear the contents of the collector, right-click in the collector and click Remove on the shortcut menu. You can then continue to select new entities in the collector to create a new analysis. |
3. Click OK to complete the analysis or Cancel to cancel the analysis. Alternatively, click Repeat to start a new analysis.
4. Optionally, to save the analysis or create an analysis feature, perform the following steps:
a. Click the Analysis tab if it is not selected by default.
b. Select the desired analysis types from the list at the bottom of the Radius dialog box.
c. Select Saved to save the analysis with the model, and to display and dynamically update the analysis while modeling or select Feature to create analysis feature.
d. If required, rename the analysis in the box adjacent to the list.
e. Click the Feature tab to change feature options of the current analysis, if required. You can access the feature options only when you select a feature type of analysis.
5. Optionally, to customize or edit your analysis, perform the following steps:
a. Select one of the following types of plot in the Plot list:
▪ Inside & Outside—Displays both the inside and outside minimum radius of the selected curve or edge.
▪ Inside—Displays the inside minimum radius of the selected curve or edge.
▪ Outside—Displays the outside minimum radius of the selected curve or edge.
b. Adjust the scale of plot using the thumbwheel or type a value in the Scale box. You can also adjust the scale graphically using the handle on the entity.
