Max/Min Coordinate on Curves (2023)

[[To...]]

Please correct me if I am wrong.  I recall when using Max or Min Coordinate on a regular geometry, you would find the highest or lowest deviation on the surface.  But on a curve, you could find the most extreme point along a chosen axis.  But the help looks like it's only measuring the deviation amount.  Has something changed?

Measuring the mid portion of a curve segment.  When I assign the curve to a Min coordinate on Y axis, it finds the 1st point of the curve, which happens to be the the most -Y point but it's not in the measured segment.  How do you limit the evaluation to segment range.  Since starting this post, I tried limiting the evaluation to range of points being measured, but it still looks like it's choosing the point based on its' nominal value and not along the chosen axis.

Minimum Point construction

Menu: Construct  Minimum Point

Use the Minimum Point construction to compute the coordinates of the point at which negative deviation from feature geometry is at its maximum. You can reference the deviation to the feature's actual or nominal geometry.

Feature 1

Use a regular geometric element, a stepped cylinder or a curve as feature 1.

Interpretation of results

As a result, CALYPSO calculates the coordinates of the point having the largest negative deviation (or, in the case of the stepped cylinder, the deviation to the inside). Depending on the selection, the result is a Point (with normal vector) or a 3D Point.

Nominal

You can enter a nominal value and check the compliance with the tolerance.

On nominal side it's always selects from nominal, but actual side is reported by actual point from actuals.

 is this from simulation or your nominals are bigger than recalled points?

If you have less actuals than nominals, then go to evaluation and do masking points.
