With the trim tool, the user can divide a curve into two new curves by trimming at a certain point.
ParamU: this parameter specifies the location of the point on the curve where the curve will be divided into two new curves.
ParamU parameter takes values from 0 to 1, being 0.5 the default value (middle of the curve).
Curve: Curve to trim.
After the trim tool is executed, a new curve will be created. However, the process is not over until the "Explode option" is applied. This option will appear in the trim curve contextual menu.
The explode option allows the user to obtain not only any required vertex but also two new curves.
If the curve is exploded by vertex, CivilFEM will give three points from the curve. That is, two at the both ends and one in the place specified by the user in the Param U parameter.
If the curve is exploded by curve, CivilFEM will create two new curves. The separation point will be that specified by the Param U parameter.
This option would not be available in case of selecting more than one geometry entity.
Trim the curve on the intersection with another curve
Trim by curve tool allows the division of a curve in two parts at the point when one curves meets the other.
The intersection point will be the point common to both curves.
Trim by curve option calculates the intersection point between two curves.
Tool: specifies the curve used as the trimming tool.
Curve: defines the entity that is going to be trimmed by the tool entity.
