Advanced Covering is a function of model deformation technology. This single API uses sophisticated algorithms to create high quality n-sided surfaces that meet user specified tolerances for position and tangency on boundaries and on optional internal guiding geometry. Advanced Covering allows a surface to be fit onto circuits (collections of edges that form closed loops) in solid or wire bodies. Many of developers use Advanced Covering for post-translation surface replacement or re-covering, non-planar end-capping and surface definition from curve data.

Advanced Covering Key Features:

• Creation of non-planar, n-sided surfaces
• Retention of positional and tangential continuity with adjacent surfaces
• Individual specification of continuity tolerance on each edge (G0 and G1)
• Placement of auxiliary point and curve restraints (G0 only)
• Post-covering gap reporting (diagnostics)
• Optional specification of initial surface
