Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the radius of a circular hole in a cuboidal model.
Here is part of the code that I tried using:
// iterating through each face in the model
for(i=1; i
{
TopoDS_Face face=TopoDS::Face(faces.FindKey(i));
// getting all wires in the face and outerwire
TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape wires;
TopExp::MapShapes(face, TopAbs_WIRE, wires);
TopoDS_Wire outerWire=BRepTools::OuterWire(face);
// iterating through each wire in the faces
for(j=1; j
{
TopoDS_Wire wire=TopoDS::Wire(wires.FindKey(j));
if(wire!=outerWire)
{
Standard_Real R,U1,U2;
Handle (Geom_Curve) C1 = BRep_Tool::Curve(TopoDS::Edge(wire), U1, U2);
Handle (Geom_Circle) C2 = Handle (Geom_Circle)::DownCast(C2);
R = C2->Circ().Radius();
cout
}
When I try executing this, I get a debug error ("abnormal program termination").
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Also, if someone could provide me with the correct code for getting the radius of the circular hole, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance !!

Check handled objects with IsNull method to know if it can be addressed. It is for sure C2 is a null handle if a curve is not of type circle.

The line-
Handle (Geom_Circle) C2 = Handle (Geom_Circle)::DownCast(C2);
Did you intend it to be
Handle (Geom_Circle) C2 = Handle (Geom_Circle)::DownCast(C1);
otherwise how is C2 defined

Hi Bearloga and P Dobley,
Thanks for your replies. Yes I intended the line to be the second one.
I made the correction in the DownCast argument from C2 to C1. I also checked the handled objects with IsNull. I still get the same error message. After the modifications, the code now looks like this:
// iterating through each face in the model
for(i=1; i<=faces.Extent(); ++i)
{
TopoDS_Face face=TopoDS::Face(faces.FindKey(i));
// getting all wires in the face and outerwire
TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape wires;
TopExp::MapShapes(face, TopAbs_WIRE, wires);
TopoDS_Wire outerWire=BRepTools::OuterWire(face);
// iterating through each wire in the faces
for(j=1; j<=wires.Extent(); ++j)
{
TopoDS_Wire wire=TopoDS::Wire(wires.FindKey(j));
if(wire!=outerWire)
{
Standard_Real R,U1,U2;
Handle (Geom_Curve) C1 = BRep_Tool::Curve(TopoDS::Edge(wire), U1, U2);
if (! C1.IsNull())
{
Handle (Geom_Circle) C2 = Handle (Geom_Circle)::DownCast(C1);
if (! C2.IsNull())
{
R = C2->Circ().Radius();
cout<<"Radius of circle = "<

There's a piece of code from Daniel Kelley in http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_11618/ that illustrates the "DynamicType" test - could be useful in your algo.

Pete and Stephane,
Thanks once again for your replies. I tried using TopExp_Explorer to explore the wire to get the edges, as follows:
// iterating through each face in the model
for(i=1; i<=faces.Extent(); ++i)
{
TopoDS_Face face=TopoDS::Face(faces.FindKey(i));
// getting all wires in the face and outerwire
TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape wires;
TopExp::MapShapes(face, TopAbs_WIRE, wires);
TopoDS_Wire outerWire=BRepTools::OuterWire(face);
// iterating through each wire in the faces
for(j=1; j<=wires.Extent(); ++j)
{
TopoDS_Wire wire=TopoDS::Wire(wires.FindKey(j));
if(wire!=outerWire)
{
cout<<"Circular hole's wire is on face# "<Circ().Radius();
cout<<"Radius of circle = "<

To resolve the 'Geom_BezierCurve_Type_', you need to a #include , or and so on for the other Geom classes. I didn't think you'd need these for your algo, as you must already have included and this was the only case you were looking for.

you cannot TopoDS::Edge(wire)
you have to use TopExp_Explorer to explore the wire to get the edges

What is the source of your shape? If you imported it from other system (e.g. by iges reader) then it is probably that the edges of the shape do not contain curves 3d (but only 2d curves on surfaces). In this case try to build 3d curves using shape healing. Or, another way (and it is better) is to use 2d curves to retrieve radius (use BRep_Tool::CurveOnSurface).

Hi Bearloga,
Yes my OpenCascade shape was created by translating all the faces in an IGES file, using IGESControl_Reader.
I tried your second method (BRep_Tool::CurveOnSurface), but it still does not work. Here is what I did:
if(wire!=outerWire)
{
Standard_Real R,U1,U2;
TopExp_Explorer exp;
for (exp.Init(wire,TopAbs_EDGE); exp.More(); exp.Next())
{
TopoDS_Edge tmpEdge=TopoDS::Edge(exp.Current());
Handle (Geom2d_Curve) C1 = BRep_Tool::CurveOnSurface(tmpEdge,face,U1,U2);
Handle (Geom_Circle) C2 = Handle (Geom_Circle)::DownCast(C1);
R = C2->Circ().Radius();
cout<<"Radius of circle = "<.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." All the lines upto this piece of code get executed.
What kind of parameters are U1 and U2? Is there any function for getting the radius of a Geom2d_Curve (like C2->Circ().Radius() in the case of Geom_Circle)?

1/ you cannot downcast a 2d curve into a 3d circle
use Geom2d_Circle instead of Geom_Circle
2/ it crashs because you don't test C1.IsNull() or C2.IsNull()
3/well, maybe it's not a circle, but the iges translation converted it into bspline ...

Stephane,
Yes, it turns out that it was in fact the IGES translation was converting it to BSpline. I am able to get the radius now. I am currently working on getting the depth of the circular hole. If I am unsuccessful, I shall post in this thread again.
Thank you once again !!
