FSofSG

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - FS/Feature Surfaces
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.0, Creation date: 2017-07-09, Last change: 2025-09-14

Features surfaces of SG in contrast to selecting a FS FSselect and CPLofFS

Description

This function can take several seconds to classify all OPEN surfaces of a solid by using TR3neighborsAngle and neighborsAngleSurface. When called without output parameter; drawing the surfaces take the most time.
Since SG-Lib 5.3 empty cells are removed.

Syntax

[CFL,nF,Ai,FNv]=FSofSG(TR,[alpha,sizesort,Amin,"text"])

Input Parameter

TR: Solid Geometry or Triangulation
alpha: maximum angle difference between two facets; default is 1 ~ 60 degree
sizesort: if true, the surfaces are sorted by their size; default is false
Amin: Minimum area to be classified as individual surface, used only during printout
"text": if used the graphics output shows the FS index numbers

Output Parameter

CFL: Index List for the Surface Indices
nF: number of faces per feature surface
Ai: Size of Feature surface
FNv: Average Normal vector of FS

Examples


load JACO_robot.mat
FSofSG(JC3,0.6);
FSofSG(JC3,0.6,true);
