Detailed Description

Describes a rib.

In Injection Molding, a "rib" feature refers to a thin, wall-like protrusion from the main body of the part that is designed to add support or strength to the structure. Ribs are used to prevent distortion and maintain the strength of the part without increasing the amount of plastic material used, which keeps cost and weight low.

Shape() method returns ModelData.Shell for this class.

"Ribs"

Rib has the following basic parameters: length in mm, height in mm, thickness in mm, and draft angle in radians.

Rib dimensions

Rib draft angle

Examples

molding/feature_recognizer/Program.cs, and molding/feature_recognizer/main.cxx.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Molding_Rib() [1/2]

cadex.Molding_Rib.Molding_Rib ( )

inline

Constructor.

Creates an empty Rib.

Molding_Rib() [2/2]

cadex.Molding_Rib.Molding_Rib ( double theLength, double theHeight, double theThickness )

inline

Constructor.

Creates a Rib from shape, length, height, and thickness.
