Curve Curvature

Measures the curvature of a curve.

How to use

1. Click the Curve Tangent and Curvature icon or choose the Tools > Analyze > Curve Tangent and Curvature command.

2. The program console prompts Pick a curve.

3. Select the curve whose curvature you want to measure. The hotSpot is constrained to track along the selected curve. The radius of curvature of the curve is displayed in the Modeling Tool panel and a yellow circle of that radius is displayed tangent to the curve at pick point. A yellow line tangent to the curve is also drawn.
