Defines an edge.
The following image depicts an example of an edge:
An edge resides on a curve (returned by Curve()) and is bounded by two vertices returned by StartVertex() and EndVertex(). StartVertex() corresponds to smaller parameter along the curve and EndVertex() - to greater parameter (regardless of own edge orientation). Vertices must always be explicitly defined.
If an edge has forward Orientation() then it is considered to align with its underlying curve. If Orientation() is reversed, then the edge is considered to have an opposite orientation comparing to its underlying curve.
If an edge is owned by a face (via its wire) then this edge must also have a p-curve (parametric curve) defined in a parametric domain of the face surface. If an edge is shared by two faces in a shell then it must have pcurve on each parent face. P-curves are oriented in the same direction as 3D curve.
Each curve representation (3D curve and p-curves) has explicit parametric range \([t_{min}, t_{max}]\), where \(t_{min}\) is a curve parameter corresponding to start vertex and \(t_{max}\) corresponding to end vertex. These points on the curve must be within vertex tolerances, i.e.:
The \(t_{min}\) parameter must always be smaller than \(t_{max}\). If the curve is not periodic then both parameters must be within the curve's definition range. If the curve is periodic then \(t_{min}\) should be within the curve's definition range. For instance, a closed edge lying on a circle (which has a definition range \([0, 2\pi]\)) may have a range \([0.5\pi, 2.5\pi]\).
When importing models from external files or creating from scratch CAD Exchanger also tries to ensure two more strict requirements:
An edge is called degenerated if it corresponds to a degenerated curve, e.g. a sphere pole, a cone apex or a B-Spline singularity point. In this case it does not have a 3D curve and only has a pcurve. For instance in the case of a sphere 'north' pole the pcurve is V-isoline \(V=\frac{\pi}{2}\).
IsDegenerated() returns true for a degenerated edge, and Curve() returns a null curve.
An edge is called seam-edge if it corresponds to a curve on a periodical suface that has two pcurve representations in the surface parametric domain. Examples include a curve corresponding to U-isolines of a cylindrical surface with \(U=0\) and \(U=2\pi\).
Although, such seam-edges typically have pcurves corresponding to surface boundary iso-lines (e.g. one corresponding to surface \(U_{min}\) and another to \(U_{max}\)), this is not always the case. Some seam-edges may have pcurves corresponding to arbitrary pairs of isolines shifted by surface period (e.g. one is \(V^*\) and another \(V^* + V_{period}\)). Some seam-edges may have even a pair of free-form pcurves, one shifted by surface period from another. This often happens when importing a file generated by CAD systems/kernels which do not explicitly support seam-edges.
A seam edge occured twice in its parent wire - with forward and reversed orientations. Edge orientation defines which pcurve will be returned by PCurve(). IsSeam() returns true for the seam-edge.
The edge tolerance (returned by Tolerance()) defines a radius of a pipe around edge's 3D curve, in which all p-curves (reconstructed on surfaces) must reside.
Any edge is created with a default tolerance (returned by Tolerance()) of 1e-7mm. Vertex tolerance (see ModelData_Vertex::Tolerance()) defines a radius of a sphere around vertex point. Edge curves' ends must be inside those spheres.
Edge tolerance should not exceed vertices tolerances.
Creating an edge from scratch must be done in the following order:
The following example demonstrates creation of an edge in a solid cylinder, which is shared by top planar face and lateral cylindrical one. Note that the edge only has a 3D curve and a p-curve on the cylindrical surface. The p-curve on the planar face is not created as explicit p-curves on planar surface are not required.
cadex::ModelData_Edge::ModelData_Edge | ( | const ModelData_Vertex & | theStartVertex, |
const ModelData_Vertex & | theEndVertex | ||
) |
Constructor.
Creates an edge from a explicitly specified bounding vertices.
theStartVertex must correspond to curve start parameter and theEndVertex to the end parameter (regardless of own edge orientation).
Orientation of the vertices is not important. Internally they will be assigned forward and reversed orientations respectively (however this will not modify input arguments).
For a closed edge (e.g. lying on a full circle) the vertices must be the same object (not just lie on geometrically coincident points), i.e. IsSame() on each vertex must return true for the other.
To complete edge construction the SetCurve() and/or SetPCurve() methods must be called. Refer to Bottom-up Creation.

ModelData_Curve cadex::ModelData_Edge::Curve | ( | double & | theFirstParameter, |

) | const |
Returns edge 3D curve and its limits.
Returns null curve for a degenerated edge (see IsDegenerated()).
ModelData_Vertex cadex::ModelData_Edge::EndVertex | ( | ) | const |
Returns a start vertex.
End vertex corresponds to a point on a curve with greater parameter (regardless of edge orientation).
bool cadex::ModelData_Edge::IsDegenerated | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the edge is degenerated.
A degenerated edge has no 3D curve.
bool cadex::ModelData_Edge::IsSeam | ( | const ModelData_Face & | theFace | ) | const |
Returns true if the edge is a seam-edge.
ModelData_Curve2d cadex::ModelData_Edge::PCurve | ( | const ModelData_Face & | theFace, |
double & | theFirstParameter, | ||
double & | theLastParameter | ||
) | const |
Returns edge p-curve on a face and its limits.
For a seam-edge (IsSeam() returns true), selects p-curve depending on this edge orientation. For a seam-edge both p-curves have the same definition range.
bool cadex::ModelData_Edge::SetCurve | ( | const ModelData_Curve & | theCurve | ) |
Specifies 3D curve of the edge.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
The curve must go from the start to the end vertex (specified in the constructor) in the direction of increasing curve's parameter.
The vertices must lie on the curve within their tolerances and within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()) unless it is periodic.
Curve's range (explicitly stored inside) is computed by projecting vertices onto the curve. If the curve's range is known upfront it is recommended to use another SetCurve() overload accepting the range. If the range cannot be computed then returns false and does not store the curve.
If theCurve is null then removes 3D curve from the edge's curve representations.
For degenerated edges (e.g. sphere pole or cone apex) this method should not be called.
void cadex::ModelData_Edge::SetCurve | ( | const ModelData_Curve & | theCurve, |
double | theFirstParameter, | ||
double | theLastParameter | ||
) |
Specifies 3D curve of the edge.
The curve must go from the start to the end vertex (specified in the constructor) in the direction of increasing curve's parameter. The point on theCurve at theFirstParameter must correspond to the start vertex, and the point at theLastParameter must correspond to the end vertex.
theFirstParameter must be smaller than theLastParameter. Both must be within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()). If the curve is periodic, then theFirstParameter should be within the definition range.
The vertices must lie on the curve within their tolerances and within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()) unless it is periodic.
If theCurve is null then removes 3D curve from the edge's curve representations.
For degenerated edges (e.g. sphere pole or cone apex) this method should not be called.
bool cadex::ModelData_Edge::SetPCurve | ( | const ModelData_Curve2d & | thePCurve, |
const ModelData_Face & | theFace | ||
) |
Specifies p-curve of the edge on the specified face.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
The p-curve must go from the start to the end vertex (specified in the constructor) in the direction of increasing curve's parameter.
theFace must already be created on an underlying surface (i.e. ModelData_Face::Surface() must return a non-null object).
The vertices must lie on the curve within their tolerances and within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()) unless it is periodic.
Curve's range (explicitly stored inside) is computed by projecting vertices onto the curve. If the curve's range is known upfront it is recommended to use another SetPCurve() overload accepting the range. If the range cannot be computed then returns false and does not store the p-curve.
For degenerated edge, if the p-curve corresponds to surface singularity, the other SetPCurve() overalod should be used as projection will most likely fail.
If thePCurve is null then removes p-curve for theFace from the edge's curve representations.
void cadex::ModelData_Edge::SetPCurve | ( | const ModelData_Curve2d & | thePCurve, |
const ModelData_Face & | theFace, | ||
double | theFirstParameter, | ||
double | theLastParameter | ||
) |
Specifies p-curve of the edge on the specified face.
The curve must go from the start to the end vertex (specified in the constructor) in the direction of increasing curve's parameter. The point on theCurve at theFirstParameter must correspond to the start vertex, and the point at theLastParameter must correspond to the end vertex.
theFace must already be created on an underlying surface (i.e. ModelData_Face::Surface() must return a non-null object).
theFirstParameter must be smaller than theLastParameter. Both must be within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()). If the curve is periodic, then theFirstParameter should be within the definition range.
The vertices must lie on the curve within their tolerances and within curve's definition range (see ModelData_Curve::Domain()) unless it is periodic.
If the p-curve corresponds to surface singularity, the IsDegenerated() flag is automatically set. For degenerated edges, theFirstParameter and theLastParameter must be specified such that in 2D parametric space the p-curve ends correspond to ends of the adjacent edges' p-curves.
If thePCurve is null then removes p-curve for theFace from the edge's curve representations.
bool cadex::ModelData_Edge::SetPCurve | ( | const ModelData_Curve2d & | thePCurveForward, |
const ModelData_Curve2d & | thePCurveReversed, | ||
const ModelData_Face & | theFace | ||
) |
Specifies p-curves of the seam-edge on the specified face.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
This method is fully equivalent to SetPCurve() for a single p-curve and face case but must be used when constructing seam-edges.
Both p-curves must have the same parametrization (i.e. a point along one curve equals to a point along the other).
thePCurveForward corresponds to the edge when it has forward orientation in the parent wire, thePCurveReversed to the edge when it has reversed orientation. To determine material location with respect to the edge, only a surface normal is taken into account (i.e. face orientation is ignored). Refer to Face Boundaries).
Curves' range (explicitly stored inside) is computed by projecting vertices onto the curves. If the range is known upfront it is recommended to use another SetPCurve() overload accepting the range. If the range cannot be computed or ranges differ then returns false and does not store the p-curves.

ModelData_Vertex cadex::ModelData_Edge::StartVertex | ( | ) | const |
