Explanation


Tendon Profile Group Definition

Before defining a Tendon Profile, the Tendon Profile Group needs to be defined first.


[Tab] Define

  • [Select Tendon Profile Group]
    Select the Tendon Profile Group. A new Tendon Profile Group can be created or an existing Tendon Profile Group can be selected.

  • [Classification]
    Type a name for the Tendon profile group.

  • [Setting]
    Enter the unit length of the profile, and set Profile Points.

  • Add : Add a row to the Profile Points Table.

  • Delete : Delete a row in the Profile Points Table.

  • [Profile Points Table]

    • Name : Enter the name of the Profile Point.

    • Location : Enter the location of each point.

    • Alignment : Sets the method of calculating the Profile Point position according to the length change.

      • By Distance : Profile Point is calculates and responds to distance information away from the Reference Point.

      • By Ratio : Calculates and responds to the ratio of the Profile Point position to the total length.

    • Reference Point : Specifies a reference point for Alignment > By Distance settings.

      • Start Point / End Point / User Defined

    • Ratio : When setting Reference Point > User Defined > Ratio, saves the Reference Point position from the user-entered ratio value.
