Trim edge Data Type

Declaration:

tte ( dim= <scalar>, nbs = <scalar>, form = <scalar>, <trim_b-spline_list> )

Literal:

te( dim= <scalar>, nbs = <scalar>, form = <scalar>, <trim_b-spline_list> )

Purpose:

This defines a trim edge. A trim edge may be specified as a literal. A trim edge has four arguments.

dim	specifies the dimension of the trim edge.
nbs	specifies the number of b-splines that describe the trim edge.
form	describes the type of edge; 0 is open, 1 is closed, 2 is periodic, and -1 is disjoint.
<trim_b-spline_list>	list of one or more trim b-splines that define the trim edge.

Limitations:

The elements of a trim edge must be literals. They may not be represented by expressions or variables.

Example:

te(dim = 2, nbs = 6, form = 1,
	tbs(ctype = 0,dim = 2,m = 3,
		n = 1,rat = 1,form = 0,
		tcv(0.9501376,-2.6293772,1.0,0.0),
		tcv(0.9514360,-2.6064462,1.0,0.08	),
		tcv(0.9519445,-2.5832916,1.0,0.08),
		tcv(0.9519445,-2.5600670,1.0,0.08)
	)
