Parametric volute with a generic B-Spline

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm working on the creation of a parametric volute with a generic section (using B-spline functions) and I try to undertand if it is possible to obtain it in Caeses without external software (like for example Matlab).

 

In fact, in order to connect the control points positions (x,y,z) of the B-spline to the sections area (with the goal to control the area distributions), I need to use 'while' cycles. Is it possible to insert these loop in the program for the full parametrization of the geometry? Are there any examples or tutorials useful to understand how to program in Caeses?

 

Thanks.

Simone

Hi Simone,

 

You can easily create loops and do your calculations in Caeses using Feature Definitions .

In your case; for each section, you can do your internal optimization and fit your sectional area by updating your created parameters.

 

I would recommend you to check "Effective FPL" which gives a detailed information about Feature Programming Language.

 

You can find the  mentioned file under Documentation Browser > Tutorials > Content of Features.

 

Cheers

Ceyhan
