| Summary | 0023857: Degenerate surface normals occur on face boundary. | ||||
| Description | Some triangles of the surface mesh seem to have wrong normals, which make the surface look dark on the boundary. Meshing the surface with lower deflection makes the dark stripe smaller, but always the outermost triangles are dark. The surface was created from the points contained in Volute4.brep using GeomAPI_PointsToBSplineSurface with default parameters. Is this a meshing problem or is the surface created by GeomAPI_PointsToBSplineSurface problematic? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | restore Volute4.brep v vinit vdisplay v vfit vsetdispmode v vsetdispmode v 1 | ||||

Reported problem related to incorrect surface produced by GeomAPI_PointsToBSplineSurface (see screenshot Normals_At_MidVParam.png). Surface with inverted normals at its boundaries does not allow producing correct mesh anyway and result will always have dark areas during visualization. |

Hello Timo, The problem is in surface produced by GeomAPI algorithm on this set of points; I suggest you try using different algorithm for its generation. |
|
|
Yes, we can also use a different algorithm, but we have many other similar cases where this problem doesn't occur with GeomAPI. So, basically such distribution of points seems to be compatible with GeomAPI. Wouldn't it be good to investigate it and to make it more robust if possible? |
|
|
As far as I understand, default algorithm in GeomAPI_PointsToBSplineSurface is direct interpolation, which is quite straightforward and well-defined algorithm. It is known that such algorithms are sensitive to input data and can produce geometries with loops. However, they are still useful in many cases. If we consider improving this algorithm, this will mean we create different one. But we already have a number of alternative algorithms in GeomAPI, that is why I suggest trying them first. Note that it is still possible that interpolation algorithm has some bug inside, though I believe it is very unlikely. |

Dear Andrey, which algorithms for surface creation in GeomAPI do you mean? Or do you mean algorithms from other packages, e.g. BRepOffsetAPI_ThruSections? |
|
|
From my side, the issue could be closed as we are now using BRepOffsetAPI_ThruSections instead. |
