Flange End Type 9

Figure 1:7. Flange end type 9.

This is a very special flange end type that usually occurs with a toe. However, even if defined to be set at a toe it might be generated anywhere.

Special is that the base line passes through a point P (defined by DX_P, DY_P), and not through the top of the toe. This means that the edge will not be set parallel to the 'original' base line. The base line will thus be modified while setting the flange.

The shape of the toe is generated from two arcs (radius R1 (the larger one) and R2) and the distance DIST from a certain line. This line passes through the given point P and a point on the toe defined by TOE_H and TOE_L. All these parameters have to be set in the definition file.

Furthermore, the distance from the base line to the knuckle point has to be defined as for flange end types 3, 4 and 5.
