ISO 10303-214:2010(E)
A Vee_profile is an open profile that is specified by a shape bounded by two lines that connect at a point and extend infinitely. The enclosed angle shall be smaller than 180 degrees. The connection of the two lines may be blended with a radius. The x-y-plane of the inherited Axis_placement coincides with the x-y-plane of the base lines outlining the profile. It is located in the connection of these two lines.
NOTE The orientation of the Axis_placement is further constrained by the 'tilt_angle' of the Vee_profile.
EXAMPLE Figure 76 depicts a Vee_profile.
A Vee_profile is a type of Open_profile.
The data associated with a Vee_profile are the following:
The profile_angle specifies the size of the angle between the two sides of the Vee_profile. The angle shall be greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
See vee_profile to feature_parameter for the application assertion.
The radius specifies the size of the blend radius at the point of the 'V', or where the two sides come together.
See vee_profile to feature_parameter for the application assertion.
The radius need not be specified for a particular Vee_profile.
The tilt_angle specifies the size of the angle between one side of the Vee_profile and the x-axis of the local coordinate system of the Vee_profile.
See vee_profile to feature_parameter for the application assertion.
