4.2.572 Vee_profile

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:

4.2.572.1 profile_angle

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.

4.2.572.2 radius

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.

4.2.572.3 tilt_angle

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.
