CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

(OP)

Can anybody help?

how to create ellipse with known circumference and one mayor axis?

thank you in advance

RE: CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

I am sorry to say, but this seems to be more of a mathematical question...

You can check out this link or this one for the formulas you will need.

Best of luck!

In this case I need to calculate inverse eliptic integral. And this take (pretty much) time

Do You have other solution?

kind regards

RE: CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

If you have the optimization license, you can let CATIA adjust the length of the other axis until the perimeter of the ellipse is exactly what you want.

Otherwise, it requires a calculator or alot of trial and error.

I have it.

But I still don`t know how to do it

RE: CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

(OP)

I do not knw menaing of "IT"

Is it possible to constrain curve lenght? (I need only one quarter of the ellipse)

I wish to find better solution. Now I "solve" this problem vith VBA, and as I already explained computer need cca 2 min to calculate exact value (error should be less than 0.00001)

RE: CATIA V 5 how to create ellipse with known perimeter and one mayor axis

You stated "I have it." That is the "IT" in my post. I assumed that you had derived the equation referring to your previous post after rereading you meant that you have the optimization license.

If you provide the application and you current model it will be much easier to help.
