Magnetic-Joint
A Magnetic-Joint makes a circular profile in a Part become in continuous contact with an irregular* Profile in a different Part.
The Magnetic-Joint calculates the motion-values [positional, velocity] of the Part with the circular Profile.
Note * : The shape of the irregular Profile can be derived from a Point-Cloud or a sketch-loop.

The circular Profile is in continuous contact with the irregular Profile or Point-Cloud.

Optionally, edit the effective radius of the Cam-Roller.
The circular Profile moves along the irregular Profile. The Radius parameter is 0mm and Read-Only
Click the check-box to let the circular Profile overlap irregular Profile. Radius

This is useful if you use a CMM machine with a probe diameter that is different to the Cam-Roller, and the CMM software does not have 'Probe Compensation'. When the CMM data does not compensate for the Probe Diameter, you would use Modify Cycle Radius to recreate the contact between the irregular-Profile and the Cam-Roller. Offset Profile Radius = Radius of Actual Cam-Roller – Radius of CMM Probe R = Rcf – Rp Rcf = Cam-Roller Radius; Rp = CMM Probe Radius. |
