SGof2T

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - SG/Solids
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 3.2, Creation date: 2016-12-21, Last change: 2025-09-14

Creates a solid geometry between two frames

Description

The solid is created starting at frame 1 ending at frame 2 considering a minimal radius of Rv.
The solid is elongated starting before frame 1 and ends after frame 2 to implement penetration of links. Optional, it is possible to extrude a contour. Please make sure that radius Rv is at least 2.5 time the maximum distance of NCPL from the origin.
Base frame and Follower frame are added, but the base frame has its ez vector directing outside of the solid
