This structure contains optional controls for PK_FACE_hollow_3

Used in:

PK_FACE_hollow_3



Description of fields:

'check_fa_fa'           Check for face-face inconsistencies. Permitted values
                        are:
                              PK_check_fa_fa_yes_c
                              PK_check_fa_fa_no_c
                        The default value is PK_check_fa_fa_yes_c.

'offset_method'         The method used for repairing self-intersections
                        caused by offsetting surfaces in the body.

                        Note that self intersections in facet geometry are
                        repaired automatically, so this option is ignored when
                        hollowing facet geometry.

                        The default value is PK_offset_method_sx_trim_c.
                        See Removing self-intersections for more
                        information.

'report_sx'             If this is set to PK_LOGICAL_true, then a report will
                        be returned in the Parasolid report stream containing
                        a record of type PK_REPORT_record_type_1_c. This record
                        will have a status of PK_REPORT_1_fa_sx_repair_c and
                        will contain information on faces that have been
                        repaired in order to remove self-intersections. The
                        report will contain faces that have been repaired by
                        the method of b-surface patching, as specified by
                        setting 'offset_method' to a value other than
                        PK_offset_method_sx_trim_c. The faces will be returned
                        as followed:
                          o As 'old_items', a list of repaired faces that
                            existed on the original body.
                          o As 'new_items', a list of repaired faces that
                            exist on the resultant hollowed body.
                        If 'offset_method' is set to
                        PK_offset_method_sx_trim_c, then no report will be
                        returned.
                        The default value is PK_LOGICAL_false.

'fix_degens'            Controls when to repair degeneracies on surfaces. If
                        set to a value other than PK_fix_degens_no_c, this
                        option improves the reliability when offsetting
                        surfaces with degeneracies, by modifying the surfaces
                        in the regions near the degeneracies.
                        The default value is PK_fix_degens_no_c.

'report_fix_degens'     If this is set to PK_LOGICAL_true, then information
                        will be returned in the Parasolid report stream about
                        surfaces that have been repaired in order to improve
                        the reliability of offsetting degenerate surfaces, as
                        specified by the option 'fix_degens'. Each record will
                        be of type PK_REPORT_record_type_1_c and will have a
                        status of PK_REPORT_1_fa_fix_degens_c. It will contain:
                          o As 'old_items', a set of faces on the original
                            body, followed by the original surface that they
                            share, which was repaired. In the case where the
                            original surface was an offset surface, this is
                            followed by the underlying b-surface.
                          o As 'new_items', the corresponding repaired
                            b-surface, followed by the corresponding offset
                            surface, followed by the corresponding faces on the
                            resultant hollowed body that the surfaces belong
                            to.
                        If 'fix_degens' is set to PK_fix_degens_no_c, or no
                        surfaces are repaired, then no reports of this type
                        will be returned.
                        The default value is PK_LOGICAL_false.

'offset_step'           A "boundary edge" is an edge between a face which is
                        being offset and one which is pierced or between two
                        faces being offset different distances.

                        If this option is set to PK_offset_step_pierce_c then
                        side faces will be created along any smooth boundary
                        edges between a face which is being offset and one
                        which is pierced.

                        If this option is set to PK_offset_step_all_c then
                        side faces will be created along any smooth boundary
                        edges.

                        If this option is set to PK_offset_step_site_c
                        then side faces will be created for all smooth
                        boundary edges but side faces will not be created if
                        site faces can be grown instead. Site faces with facet
                        geometry will not be grown.

                        This option has no effect on the result if there are
                        no smooth boundary edges.

                        The default value is PK_offset_step_no_c.
                        See here for more information.

'blend_edges'           Offset edge with blending method. The default
                        value is: PK_EDGE_offset_blend_no_c indicating
                        that no blending is to be performed.

                        Offset edge blending effectively combines two
                        operations in one, the result being the same as that
                        obtained by first offsetting the edge and then blending
                        the offset edge.

                        Edges will be blended subject to the following
                        conditions.

                        o The edge lies between two non-rubber faces.
                        o The offsets applied to each face are equal in
                          magnitude and equal to the specified 'blend_radius'
                        o The faces are both offset to the same side of the
                          original sheet.
                        o The edge convexity matches the one indicated by
                          'blend_edges'.

                        For the purpose of this option 'convexity' refers to
                        the 'visual' convexity  of the original edge when
                        viewed from the side of the original faces on which the
                        offset faces lie. There is no direct dependence on face
                        normal direction but an indirect dependence in that the
                        'side' of the original face on which an offset face
                        lies depends on face normal direction and the sign of
                        the offset distance applied to that face.

                        Note that the value PK_EDGE_offset_blend_convex_c
                        is not supported for mixed edges.

'blend_radius'          The blend radius to use when 'blend_edges' is a
                        non-default value.

'grow'                  While repairing clashing features, there are
                        situations in which it is necessary for faces to be
                        grown.  This option controls which feature's faces
                        will be grown.

                        Permitted values are:
                             PK_FACE_grow_update_c
                             PK_FACE_grow_auto_c
                             PK_FACE_grow_moving_c
                             PK_FACE_grow_fixed_c
                             PK_FACE_grow_no_c
                             PK_FACE_grow_fail_c

                        Note that the value PK_FACE_grow_update_c is not
                        supported for facet geometry.

                        The default value is PK_FACE_grow_update_c, which
                        should be used for updating v20.0 and earlier models.

'update'                The default value allows applications to take
                        advantage of the latest enhancements of the generic
                        algorithms supporting Parasolid local operations
                        functions. To maintain consistency when rebuilding
                        models created in a previous version of Parasolid,
                        a non-default value should be specified.

                        The default value is PK_local_ops_update_default_c
