Eliminating the gap between the handle and the solid
Environment
Not environment-specific
Question:
I have a polybeam with slightly curved sections, but sometimes the solid does not go exactly through one of the handles. How can I get rid of this behavior, and eliminate the gap between the handle and the solid?
Answer:
The problem is that the change in the curvature or the direction between the two consecutive chamfers is too small. You need to decrease the tolerance Tekla Structures uses in these cases. This can be done by decreasing the value of the XS_POLYBEAM_CURVATURE_TOLERANCE advanced option.
Note: If you decrease this value too much, polybeams may break.
