4.9.4.6. Specifying an Array
Instead of specifying a curve shape along which points must be
interpolated, FlexWorks allows you to specify each point directly.
You can either specify the points within the FlexWorks interface, or
you can import a file created in a spreadsheet program.
The number of points to be specified is dependent on the Master
Step setting. For example, consider the following specification.
Figure 36: Example of End Point Specification
The length of the segment is 1000 master counts and the Master
Step is 20. The number of points in the segment, including the start
and end points is thus 51.
To open the Curve Shape window:
1. First specify the values of Master End, Slave End and Master
Step, as explained previously in Sections 4.9.4.3 and
4.9.4.4.
2. Click in, or tab to, the Curve Shape field.
3. Click the icon that is displayed in the Curve Shape field.
The Curve Shape dialog box is displayed.
4. Select Array from the Curve Shape window.
A table is displayed in the
Curve Shape window. Each
row corresponds to one
point in the segment. For
the example shown above,
a table with 51 rows will be
displayed. The slave values
for the first and last points
are entered automatically,
based on the Slave Start
and Slave End values
specified. Only the slave
values need to be entered
– the master values are
calculated automatically,
based on the end points
and the master step value.
