Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to this surface smoothing definition.
This label is referred to by the GEOMETRIC CORRECTION parameter on the CONTACT PAIR option.
Data lines to define the surface regions on which smoothing is applied
- Data line to define smoothing on regions of two-dimensional surfaces that correspond (or nearly correspond) to a circular arc (see Figure 1)
Name of slave surface or surface corresponding to a subregion of the slave surface. The name can be omitted when smoothing is applied only to a subregion of the master surface.
Name of master surface or surface corresponding to a subregion of the master surface. The name can be omitted when smoothing is applied only to a subregion of the slave surface.
The word CIRCUMFERENTIAL.
Global X-coordinate of point a, the approximate center (origin) of the circular arc.
Global Y-coordinate of point a, the approximate center (origin) of the circular arc.
