Fillets Organize and Cleanup

During this step you will defeature fillets, and replace the rounded corner where two lines come together with a point. Tangents are calculated at the beginning and at the end of each fillet, then those tangents are intersected to create a corner.

The Surface Fillet Midline Split panel includes the following controls:

Min Radius	This lets you specify a cutoff point for the fillet size/radius. Any fillets in the model with radii of less than this value will be ignored, while fillets with radii greater than this will be cleaned up (removed so that the relevant lines meet at a sharp corner.)
Max Radius	Similar to Min Radius, this sets a boundary to limit which fillets are affected. In this case, fillets with radii greater than this value will be ignored and remain.
Suppress fillet tangent edges	Because fillets are removed by generating tangent lines to replace them, these lines often result in extra edges in model geometry. This option suppresses such edges after the fillet removal process.
Cleanup	This button executes the fillet midline split routine based on what you have specified for the radius range and tangent suppression.

You can back up to User Defined Features by clicking Prev. When finished cleaning up fillets click either ACCEPT or Next to continue. You can also click on a specific task in the Process Manager to go to the appropriate panel.
