Purpose
To merge two surface patches by combining the polygon nets of both patches.
Syntax
CONCATENATE < $W $W > < /TANGENT ! /CURVATURE > < /KEEP >
Description
Given two surface patches selected either via the cursor or by specifying their names, the command will create a new patch by combining the defining polygon nets of both patches. The resulting patch is stored using the name of the first patch specified.
By default the command combines the patches by creating an internal knuckle at the common edge. Alternatively the user can specify that they are to be combined by applying tangent or curvature continuity.
Command Qualifiers
|
$W $W |
The names of the surface patches to be combined. If not given they are selected via the cursor. |
|
/TANGENT |
An optional qualifier that specifies that in merging the patches, tangent continuity (first order) is to be applied at the common edge. |
|
/CURVATURE |
An optional qualifier that specifies that in merging the two patches, curvature (second order) continuity is to be applied at the common edge. |
|
/KEEP |
An optional qualifier that keeps the two original patches as well as creating the single merged patch. |
