Chordal Tolerance on Edge mesh controls
Use the Chordal Tolerance on Edge type of Mesh Control to produce a parametric set of node locations that the software derives from equations related to the curvature of the edge or curve. The chordal tolerance is defined as the maximum distance between an arc along the curve and the curve itself. The software creates:
A higher density of nodes in regions where the curvature is greater.
A lower density of nodes in regions where there is less curvature.
