Detailed Description

This class provides for a framework to construct a shell or a solid along a spine consisting in a wire. To produce a solid, the initial wire must be closed. Two approaches are used:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell ( const TopoDS_Wire Spine)

Constructs the shell-generating framework defined by the wire Spine. Sets an sweep's mode If no mode are setted, the mode use in MakePipe is used.

Member Function Documentation

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::Add ( const TopoDS_Shape Profile,
const Standard_Boolean  WithContact = Standard_False,
const Standard_Boolean  WithCorrection = Standard_False 
)

Adds the section Profile to this framework. First and last sections may be punctual, so the shape Profile may be both wire and vertex. Correspondent point on spine is computed automatically. If WithContact is true, the section is translated to be in contact with the spine. If WithCorrection is true, the section is rotated to be orthogonal to the spine?s tangent in the correspondent point. This option has no sense if the section is punctual (Profile is of type TopoDS_Vertex).

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::Add ( const TopoDS_Shape Profile,
const TopoDS_Vertex Location,
const Standard_Boolean  WithContact = Standard_False,
const Standard_Boolean  WithCorrection = Standard_False 
)

Adds the section Profile to this framework. Correspondent point on the spine is given by Location. Warning: To be effective, it is not recommended to combine methods Add and SetLaw.

virtual void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::Build ( )
overridevirtual

Implements BRepPrimAPI_MakeSweep.

virtual const TopTools_ListOfShape& BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::Generated ( const TopoDS_Shape S)
overridevirtual

Returns a list of new shapes generated from the shape S by the shell-generating algorithm. This function is redefined from BRepOffsetAPI_MakeShape::Generated. S can be an edge of the given Spine (see Constructor), it can be an edge or a boundary vertex of a shape returned by the method FirstShape(), it can also be a Profile (see method Add()) closest to the beginning or the end of the Spine. If S is an edge of the given Spine, then method Generated() returns a list of generated faces and a list of edges from a free boundary (if it exists) of the resulting shell. If S is an edge of the start shape (see FirstShape()), method Generated() returns a list of faces generated along the whole spine from the given edge. If S is a boundary vertex of the start shape (see FirstShape()), method Generated() returns a list of edges from the free boundary of the resulting shell, generated along the whole spine. If S is a Profile closest to the beginning of the Spine, method Generated() returns the start shape, that can also be obtained by method FirstShape(). If S is a Profile closest to the end of the Spine, method Generated() returns the end shape, that can also be obtained by method LastShape().

Define the maximum V degree of resulting surface.

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMaxSegments ( const Standard_Integer  NewMaxSegments)

Define the maximum number of spans in V-direction on resulting surface.

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMode ( const Standard_Boolean  IsFrenet = Standard_False)

Sets a Frenet or a CorrectedFrenet trihedron to perform the sweeping If IsFrenet is false, a corrected Frenet trihedron is used.

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMode ( const gp_Ax2 Axe)

Sets a fixed trihedron to perform the sweeping all sections will be parallel.

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMode ( const gp_Dir BiNormal)

Sets a fixed BiNormal direction to perform the – sweeping. Angular relations beetween the section(s) and <BiNormal> will be constant.

Standard_Boolean BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMode ( const TopoDS_Shape SpineSupport)

Sets support to the spine to define the BiNormal of the trihedron, like the normal to the surfaces. Warning: To be effective, Each edge of the <spine> must have an representaion on one face of<SpineSupport>

void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetMode ( const TopoDS_Wire AuxiliarySpine,
const Standard_Boolean  CurvilinearEquivalence,
const BRepFill_TypeOfContact  KeepContact = BRepFill_NoContact 
)

Sets an auxiliary spine to define the Normal For each Point of the Spine P, an Point Q is evalued on <AuxiliarySpine> If <CurvilinearEquivalence> Q split <AuxiliarySpine> with the same length ratio than P split <Spline>. Else the plan define by P and the tangent to the <Spine> intersect <AuxiliarySpine> in Q. If <KeepContact> equals BRepFill_NoContact: The Normal is defined by the vector PQ. If <KeepContact> equals BRepFill_Contact: The Normal is defined to achieve that the sweeped section is in contact to the auxiliarySpine. The width of section is constant all along the path. In other words, the auxiliary spine lies on the swept surface, but not necessarily is a boundary of this surface. However, the auxiliary spine has to be close enough to the main spine to provide intersection with any section all along the path. If <KeepContact> equals BRepFill_ContactOnBorder: The auxiliary spine becomes a boundary of the swept surface and the width of section varies along the path. Give section to sweep. Possibilities are :

  • Give one or sevral section
  • Give one profile and an homotetic law.
  • Automatic compute of correspondance beetween spine, and section on the sweeped shape
  • correspondance beetween spine, and section on the sweeped shape defined by a vertex of the spine
void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetTolerance ( const Standard_Real  Tol3d = 1.0e-4,
const Standard_Real  BoundTol = 1.0e-4,
const Standard_Real  TolAngular = 1.0e-2 
)

Sets the following tolerance values.

  • 3D tolerance Tol3d
  • boundary tolerance BoundTol
  • angular tolerance TolAngular.
void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::SetTransitionMode ( const BRepBuilderAPI_TransitionMode  Mode = BRepBuilderAPI_Transformed)

Sets the transition mode to manage discontinuities on the swept shape caused by fractures on the spine. The transition mode can be BRepBuilderAPI_Transformed (default value), BRepBuilderAPI_RightCorner, BRepBuilderAPI_RoundCorner:

  • RepBuilderAPI_Transformed: discontinuities are treated by modification of the sweeping mode. The pipe is "transformed" at the fractures of the spine. This mode assumes building a self-intersected shell.
  • BRepBuilderAPI_RightCorner: discontinuities are treated like right corner. Two pieces of the pipe corresponding to two adjacent segments of the spine are extended and intersected at a fracture of the spine.
  • BRepBuilderAPI_RoundCorner: discontinuities are treated like round corner. The corner is treated as rotation of the profile around an axis which passes through the point of the spine?s fracture. This axis is based on cross product of directions tangent to the adjacent segments of the spine at their common point. Warnings The mode BRepBuilderAPI_RightCorner provides a valid result if intersection of two pieces of the pipe (corresponding to two adjacent segments of the spine) in the neighborhood of the spine?s fracture is connected and planar. This condition can be violated if the spine is non-linear in some neighborhood of the fracture or if the profile was set with a scaling law. The last mode, BRepBuilderAPI_RoundCorner, will assuredly provide a good result only if a profile was set with option WithCorrection = True, i.e. it is strictly orthogonal to the spine.
void BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell::Simulate ( const Standard_Integer  NumberOfSection,
TopTools_ListOfShape Result 
)

Simulates the resulting shape by calculating its cross-sections. The spine is devided by this cross-sections into (NumberOfSection - 1) equal parts, the number of cross-sections is NumberOfSection. The cross-sections are wires and they are returned in the list Result. This gives a rapid preview of the resulting shape, which will be obtained using the settings you have provided. Raises NotDone if <me> it is not Ready.
