Summary0027279: BRepOffsetAPI_NormalProjection fails to project an edge on a face
DescriptionFor a specific case BRepOffsetAPI_NormalProjection fails.
A wire consisting of 3 edges should be projected on a face.
The result is a compound with a single edge. The projection of the two other edges failed.

For other, similar cases it works (see #25894).

Unfortunately, the fix for 27135 does not help with this bug.

I want to provide still some input from our own investigations.
We create the surface used for projection by BrepOffsetAPI_ThruSections. The sections are distributed unequally, but the resulting surface seems to be parameterized equally. At one end of the surface the sections are especially dense (see appended screenshot). If we use less sections there, the problem does not occur. If we use more sections there, the problem occurs. Maybe the surface starts to oscillate a little bit so that the normals get bad and the projection fails. This is just an idea.

The problem was analyzed by OCC in April 2016:

Reason of algorithm failure is problem of projecting two edges (d_2_1 and d_2_3) of wire d_2, see picture.

Projection of any curve point on surface is performed by using Newton iterations from appropriate starting point for solving pair of equations:
(P-S(u,v))*dS/du = 0, (P-S(u,v))*dS/dv = 0, P = C(t) is curve point for fixed parameter t, S(u,v) is point on surface for any surface parameters u, v.
These equations are condition of the perpendicular projection of point on surface.
It is possible to see class ProjLib_PrjResolve for details.
At the beginning of each curve there are parametrical areas (approximate interval 0 ~ 0.0004) where Newton process convergences to “wrong” point, which is on surface boundary, see Picture.

For example, projection of point of d_2_1 with parameter 0.0003 (red cross) is end of yellow arrow.
Convergence of Newton process depends on local properties of surface near the starting points and for correct convergence we need some conditions for derivatives (see for example Kantorovich theorem).
Sometimes these condition are not correct and Newton process cannot get correct roots of equations.
It is difficult to define, are there small oscillations on surface or not and are the oscillation real reasons of bad projection, it is necessary to perform quite time-consuming mathematical research.
Area of possible surface oscillations is rather large, and covered large parametric range of curve, see Picture.
 
But for t > 0.0004 projections of curve points are quite valid, on picture projection of point for t=0.001 is shown
 

To solve this problem it is necessary:
1. To design and develop some algorithms for diagnosing such kind of problems;
2. To find out alternative methods for getting projection of point on surface, for example by minimization of distance between point and surface.
Taking in account, that fast minimization methods use like-Newton iteration processes, we can meet the same problems.

So, to solve the problem it is necessary to perform quite time-consuming mathematical research.
