To create a Conic – Discriminant surface do the following:
1.Select Support Curve. It can be a path, a route, an open profile, an edge or a sequence of smoothly-joint edges.
2.Select First Guide. It can be a path, a route, an open profile, an edge or a sequence of smoothly-joint edges. The first guide must entirely belong to the first face.
3.Select First Face. It can be set by a face, a surface or a sequence of smoothly-joint faces.
4.Select Second Guide. It can be a path, a route, an open profile, an edge or a sequence of smoothly-joint edges. The second guide must entirely belong to the second face.
5.Select Second Face. It can be set by a face, a surface or a sequence of smoothly-joint faces.
6.Set Discriminant value in the range from 0,001 to 0,999. The value can be constant or variable, set by the diagram. The abscissa axis of the diagram is the supporting curve length.
7.Change or leave the default values for the parameters determining design accuracy.
8.Confirm the surface creation.
1. Support curve 2-1. First edge from the set of smoothly conjugated edges of the first guide 2-2. Second edge from the set of smoothly conjugated edges of the first guide 3-1. First part of the set of smoothly conjugate faces of the first face 3-2. Second part of the set of smoothly conjugate faces of the first face 4-1. First edge from the set of smoothly conjugated edges of the second guide 4-2. Second edge from the set of smoothly conjugated edges of the second guide 5-1. First part of the set of smoothly conjugate faces of the second face 5-2. Second part of the set of smoothly conjugate faces of the second face 8.
