Minimum Radius of Curvature

The minimum radius of curvature is where undercutting will be flagged if the choice of Ignore Undercutting is set to Yes

 

Minimum Arc Angle for Dwells

Min Arc Angle is the angle of the smallest arc when the dwells are not arcs.  This choice overrides the Dwell Incre Incr.  Not valid now

 

Contact Width is Same as Follower Width

Ignore Undercutting Yes/No

A choice of Yes here will not flag undercutting in the computation.  If Yes, the curves may be self intersecting.

 

Maximum Circular Cam

Default maximum circular cam, not limited to 360 degrees.

 

Increment for Quick Compute

This value is for computing the cam with an increment other than what was put in the Kinematics.  This value may be less than one; therefore, you could have large increments in Kinematics and then a fine increment for the finish cam.

 

Material to add to Outside of a Groove

This value will add to the outside of a groove so that the groove can be Boolean Subtracted from the cylinder of a barrel cam, or the width of a plate cam.

 

Number of Increments to Divide and Arc into

Not used

 

Is Dwell an Arc?

A choice of Yes will make the dwells an arc with just a beginning and end point.  A choice of No will make the dwells into increments of the angle entered in Minimum Arcs for Dwells (2) above.

 

Default Clearance for a Groove

This value is the default clearance between the follower OD and the width of a groove. 

 

Dock Geo Form at Start

A choice of Yes here will dock the Geometry form at startup

 

X Position of undocked form

This is the horizontal position of the Geometry form when undocked

 

Y Position of undocked form

This is the vertical position of the Geometry form when undocked.
