ROLLER
Figure 6.1.31 Roller
This function allows the user to roll a cylinder with a defined radius along the boundary and fill the gap region between the part boundary and the cylinder.
Once this function is selected, a dialog window as shown in Figure 6.1.31 will be displayed. The default radius of the cylinder is 300 in the ROLL RADIUS window.
After the desired radius is entered, click the CREATE BOUNDARY button to show the new boundary line with the cylinder rolled along the part boundary. It the result is acceptable, click the FILL BOUNDARY button to fill in the mesh in gap region. A new part will be created to include the filled mesh and will be automatically added to the DIE.
UNDO will remove the filled mesh in the gap region and allow the user to go back to the original part. Figure 6.1.32 shows the result of a typical roller operation.
