Possible to use surface continuity analysis results?

Possible to use surface continuity analysis results?

Possible to use surface continuity analysis results?

(OP)
Here's a new one.  Anyone know of a way to convert the surface continuity analysis results into usable data?  Basically, I just want all of those curves so I can then throw a surface through it.  I'm using it to create parting line runout on a complex surface profile of a part.  It would save me a ton of time if I could figure out a way to make those results usable.  As they are you can't do anything with them.

Take care...

RE: Possible to use surface continuity analysis results?

When you perform the analysis, are your curvature combs more or less the U & V iso curves?  If so, use Insert -> Curve Operation -> Extract -> Isoparametric curves.  I would recommend extracting in both U and V directions in order to get a mesh of curves.

Hope that's what you were wanting.

I didn't try Iso's but I tried all in face and work view...no go....it doesn't recognize it as any kind of feature it can do anything with....I'll try the Iso command though.

Thanks
