Detailed Description

The RemoveFeatures algorithm is intended for reconstruction of the shape by removal of the unwanted parts from it. These parts can be holes, protrusions, spikes, fillets etc. The shape itself is not modified, the new shape is built in the result.

Currently, only the shapes of type SOLID, COMPSOLID, and COMPOUND of Solids are supported. And only the FACEs can be removed from the shape.

On the input the algorithm accepts the shape itself and the faces which have to be removed. It does not matter how the faces are given. It could be the separate faces or the collections of faces. The faces should belong to the initial shape, and those that do not belong will be ignored. Before reconstructing the shape, the algorithm will sort all the given faces on the connected blocks (features).

The features will be removed from the shape one by one. It will allow removing all possible features even if there were problems with the removal of some of them.

The removed feature is filled by the extension of the faces adjacent to the feature. In general, the algorithm of removing of the single feature from the shape looks as follows:

If the removal is successful, the result is overwritten with the new shape and the next feature is treated. Otherwise, the warning will be given.

The algorithm has the following options:

and the options available from base class:

Please note that the other options of the base class are not supported here and will have no effect.

History support allows tracking modification of the input shape in terms of Modified, IsDeleted and Generated. The history is available through the methods of the history tool BRepTools_History, which can be accessed here through the method History(). By default, the history is collected, but it is possible to disable it using the method TrackHistory(false);

Error/Warning reporting system - allows obtaining the extended overview of the Errors/Warnings occurred during the operation. As soon as any error appears the algorithm stops working. The warnings allow continuing the job, informing the user that something went wrong. The algorithm returns the following errors/warnings:

Parallel processing mode - allows running the algorithm in parallel mode obtaining the result faster.

The algorithm has certain limitations:

Note that for successful removal of the feature, the extended faces adjacent to the feature should cover the feature completely, otherwise the solids will not be rebuild.

Here is the example of usage of the algorithm:

TopoDS_Shape aSolid = ...; // Input shape to remove the features from
TopTools_ListOfShape aFaces = ...; // Faces to remove from the shape
Standard_Boolean bRunParallel = ...; // Parallel processing mode
Standard_Boolean isHistoryNeeded = ...; // History support
BOPAlgo_RemoveFeatures aRF; // Feature removal algorithm
aRF.SetShape(aSolid); // Set the shape
aRF.AddFacesToRemove(aFaces); // Add faces to remove
aRF.SetRunParallel(bRunParallel); // Define the processing mode (parallel or single)
aRF.TrackHistory(isHistoryNeeded); // Define whether to track the shapes modifications
aRF.Perform(); // Perform the operation
if (aRF.HasErrors()) // Check for the errors
{
// error treatment
return;
}
if (aRF.HasWarnings()) // Check for the warnings
{
// warnings treatment
}
const TopoDS_Shape& aResult = aRF.Shape(); // Result shape

The algorithm preserves the type of the input shape in the result shape. Thus, if the input shape is a COMPSOLID, the resulting solids will also be put into a COMPSOLID.

When all possible features are removed, the shape is simplified by removing extra edges and vertices, created during operation, from the result shape.

Clears the contents of the algorithm from previous run, allowing reusing it for following removals.

Reimplemented from BOPAlgo_Options.
