Bloss spiral

Add a Bloss spiral to the last point of the last axis element.

Checkboxes: Define Radius at Begin/End

Select, if the arc (radius) should be defined at the begin and/or at the end of the Bloss spiral

Radius Begin / Radius End

Radius of the arc at the begin/end of the spiral

Note: The input of two radii with different signs is not possible.

Length

Total length of the spiral

Global end station

Total length of the spiral defined by the global end station related to the stationing of the axis

The Bloss spiral is mathematically described as follows:

Deflection angle:

and curvature:

where

• l = length of the spiral at the considered position l related to the begin of the spiral
• R = radius of the subsequent arc at the end of the spiral
• L = total length of the spiral
