7.13. `cape-step2crv`: Convert STEP file to Plot3D multiple curve file¶

Create a Plot3D discretized curve file from a STEP file using various maximum spacing command-line options.

Usage:

$ cape-step2crv STP [OPTIONS]
$ cape-step2crv STP CRV [OPTIONS]
$ cape-step2crv -i STP [-o CRV] [OPTIONS]

Inputs:

Options:

-h, --help: Display this help message and exit
-i STP: Use STP as input file
-o CRV: Use CRV as name of created output file
-n N: Use a minimum of N segments per curve (defaults to 3)
--ds DS: Use a maximum arc length of DS on each curve
--dth THETA: Make sure maximum turning angle is below THETA
--da PHI: Make sure maximum turning angle times length of adjoining segments is less than or equal to PHI
--link: Link curves and sort by ascending x coordinate (default)
--link AXIS: Link curves and sort by AXIS, for example +x, -y, etc.
--no-link: Do not link curves together or sort
--xtol XTOL: Truncate nodal coordinates within XTOL of x=0 plane to zero
--ytol YTOL: Truncate nodal coordinates within YTOL of y=0 plane to zero
--ztol ZTOL: Truncate nodal coordinates within ZTOL of z=0 plane to zero
