Lines and faces: authorized shapes

Lines and faces

Lines and faces can be:

Their shapes depend on their origin.

The shape of line depends on the tool used by Flux to build the geometry. The lines created by Flux are as follows:

Shape of line	Construction
segment arc of circle	by entering extremity points of lines (mainly) by propagation by extrusion
helical line	by extrusion only

Within the CAD file importation into Flux project, the lines of an unspecified shape can be imported.

The shape of face depends on the tool used by Flux to build the geometry. The faces built by Flux are as follows:

Shape of face	Construction
planar cylindrical conical	with the aid of automatic construction algorithm
planar cylindrical conical spherical toroidal helical	by propagation by extrusion

Within the CAD file importation into Flux project, the faces of an unspecified shape can be imported.
