New Feature Highlight: Plotting Surface Sag in CODE V 11.3
CODE V 11.3 features new capabilities for working with CAD geometry, new surface types for freeform surfaces, and more. Among the new features are tools to plot a profile of the sag of any surface, and the difference in sag between any surface and a surface with a known radius of curvature.
The SAGPLOT tool generates a one- or two-dimensional sag table and plot over any specified surface.
The SAG_DIFFERENCE tool plots the difference between any surface and a surface with a user-specified radius of curvature such as the radius of the vertex or the best fit sphere. Measuring the amount of departure of a surface from a base surface can help you to determine if a specific fabrication method is suitable for the surface.
Both SAGPLOT and SAG_DIFFERENCE can be accessed from the CODE V Tools > Macro Manager under Sample Macros > Fabrication Support:
For more information about using the SAGPLOT and SAG_DIFFERENCE tools, see the CODE V Macro-PLUS Reference Manual. If you’d like to learn about other new features in CODE V 11.3, you can check out the CODE V 11.3 Release Notes, and CODE V 11.3 New Feature Videos on the Customer Support Portal.
