Defining Double Curvature Using Catia
Defining Double Curvature Using Catia
(OP)
I am trying to develop a method of classification for tooling complexity through the extent of double curvature of a surface. Whilst the Curvature Analysis provides a suitable graphical output for an individual curve the output from the Surface Curvature Analysis appears limited in a max and min curvature point. Is the another method of defining a surface? Thanks in advance

This could give you an overall MinMax value that could be used (for example) to classify the complexity of a draw die section.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you are trying to relate the complexity of building tooling based on the complexity of the surface data. If this is true, your idea could have alot of benefit to many tools shops and manufacturers. Just a note.
