Creation of reference vectors: (menu New Entity/Basic/Vector) (2 nd Constructor) VX: 100 ; 0 ; 0 VY: 0 ; 100 ; 0 VZ: 0 ; 0 ; 100 Creation of Wire_1 : (menu New Entity/2D Sketch). Click Apply after each consecutive line except for the last one: First Point (Absolute): (150 ; 0) Arc (Perpendicular): (50 ; 115) Arc (Tangent): (-100 ; 15) Segment (Direction ; Tangent ; Length) : 150 Segment (Direction ; VX-VY ; Y) : (0 ; -1 ;0) Sketch Validation Creation of Wire_2: (menu Operations/Transformation/Mirror image) Mirror of Wire_1 along vector VX (2 nd Constructor, leave "Create a copy" checked). Check the wires: (menu Measures/What is) => 1 Wire, 4 Edges, 5 vertices. Explode into basic elements: (menu New Entity/Explode)

Explode Wire_1 into Edges. Explode Wire_2 into Edges.

Creation of Wire: (menu New Entity/Build/Wire) Select the group of Edges (previously extracted). Multiple selection is carried out by holding ctrl in the study tree and shift in the viewer. Creation of Face_1 : (menu New Entity/Build/Face) Face with Wire. Display the result in Shading (popup menu Display Mode/Shading). Save the study (menu File/Save)

Explode into sub-elements: (menu New Entity/Explode) Explode 2 vertices from Face_1 by selection (Select Sub Shapes) Selection of a sub-shape is possible only in the OCC Viewer. Rename the 2 vertices in PB and PA. Creation of Vertices for the curve : ( New Entity/Basic/Point ) Vertex_1 Vertex_3 Vertex_5 Vertex_7 (-150, 0, 0), Vertex_2 (-140, 20, 0), (-150, 30, 0), Vertex_4 (-140, 40, 0) (-140, -20, 0), Vertex_6 (-150, -30, 0), (-140, -40, 0)

Creation of Curve_1: (menu New Entity/Basic/Curve) Interpolation with the selection of previously created vertexes (3 rd Constructor). Select just created vertexes in the next order: Vertex_4, Vertex_3, Vertex_2, Vertex_1, Vertex_5, Vertex_6, Vertex_7 Creation of Vector_1:(menu New Entity/Basic/Vector) Vector by 2 vertices (PA and Vertex_4) and (PB and Vertex_7). Creation of Face_2: (menu New Entity/Build/Face) from Curve_1, Vector_1, Vector_2, Edge_1 and Edge_5.

MeshLaunch module SMESH

Creation of a simple Tetrahedral meshCreation of Mesh_Fillet_1 : (menu Mesh/Create Mesh) Geometry: Fillet_1 Assign a set of hypotheses -> Automatic Tetrahedralization Max. Length hypothesis opened, click "Cancel". Click 1D Tab, Add "Automatic Length" hypothesis with Fitness: 0.2 Click Apply and Close for validation. The value of Finesse is shown in the study tree once the finesse is validated. It is possible to modify and adjust it. Compute (right-click on Mesh_Fillet_1)

Explode Fillet_1 into reference elements: (menu New Entity/Explode) Explode into 5 Vertices by selection.

Create 5 Planes: (menu New Entity/Basic/Plane) (1 st constructor) 4 planes along vector VX passing through each of 4 first left vertices. 1 plane along vector VY passing through the right vertex.

Creation of the Partition:(menu Operation/Partition) (1 st constructor) Partition of Fillet_1 (Objects) with 5 Planes (Tool Object).

Visualize the result in Shading mode with 40% transparency (popup menu).
