How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersUse Bridge Curve in a 2-D sketch to create a smooth (G2) spline that connects two selected sketch curves. Bridge Curve is typically used to create contiguous geometry. The following image shows a Bridge Curve closing a gap to create contiguous geometry for patching a surface.
Bridge Curve can also generate a curve with smooth (G2) continuity to close an open loop. Use the connected curves to define a patching surface or a runoff surface.
Bridge Curve
To to patch a surface containing non-continuous edges that must not be connected, use the Bridge Curve tool to connect curves and maintain G2 continuity.
- In the Mold Design browser,
right-click a plastic part node, and then click Edit Component.
The browser switches to Model browser.
- In the Model tab, click Create 2D Sketch. In the graphics window, select a planar face on the part to enter the sketch environment.
- Select the curves that you want to bridge.
- In the Sketch tab, Draw panel, click Bridge Curve, then click Finish Sketch.
