Curve Solution
To calculate the full set of curve parameters when a curvature parameter and a length parameter are given:
Click to show / hide the illustration of curve parameters used in MAGNET Field
- In the Input tab, specify one curvature and one length parameter:
- In the Results tab, review the results of the calculation and click
to save the data to a *.txt file, if required:
- Radius of the curve.
- Length of the curve.
- Chord is the distance between the start and end points (tangent points) of the curve.
- Curve angle defines the angle in degrees which is used to compute the radius of curve with the length of 100 units.
- Chord angle defines the angle in degrees which is used to compute the radius of curve whose chord is 100 units long.
- Delta is the internal angle from center to tangent points.
- Tangent is the distance between the point of intersection of the tangents at the starting and ending points, and the ending point.
- External is the shortest distance between the point of intersection and the curve (along the line joining the point of intersection to the radius point).
- Mid Ord is the length of the line segment between the curve and the chord on the line joining the point of intersection to the radius point.
- Segment is the area of a circle bounded by a chord and the circular curve that it cuts off.
- Sector is the area of a circle bounded by two radii and the circular curve they determine.
- Fillet is the area between the circular curve and the two tangents at the start and end points of the curve.
- The Drawing tab shows the illustration for the results and supports generation of a field report with the results of calculation (use the Create Field Report command from the context menu).
