Polygon Locators Float (dcu_PolyFloat.dll)

The purpose of this DLL is to float an object which has one or two polygonal locators.

 

Within this Section:

One Pair of Polygons (OnePolyPair)

Two Pairs of Polygons (TwoPolyPair)

 

 

One Pair of Polygons (OnePolyPair)

Inputs:

At least 3 points to define the object polygon. (Pin-type or smallest Point distance is required for the Object part).

At least 3 points to define the target polygon. (Hole-type or largest Point distance is required for the Target part).

One vector direction can be defined for the float plane. If no direct is set, the first point's direction will be the used.

 

Two Pairs of Polygons (TwoPolyPair)

Inputs:

At least 3 points to define each object polygon. (Pin-type or smallest Point distance is required for the Object part).

At least 3 points to define each target polygon. (Hole-type or largest Point distance is required for the Target part).

The polygon pairs can be either in the same or on parallel planes.

Set Dir Num to the number of points in the first object polygon.

Set the first direction vector to define the plane of the float.

 

Outputs:

The object is floated relative to the target.

 

Process:

The functions float the object based on the probability of assembly at each possible orientation of the object. Extreme orientations will be less likely than moderate ones.
