04:55 AM Tom_L: morning
06:51 PM Tom_L: ok math wizzards
06:52 PM Tom_L: need a formula to calculate the side lengths of a circumscribed polygon of N sides given R circle
06:53 PM Tom_L: https://www.varsitytutors.com/hotmath/hotmath_help/topics/congruent-tangents-and-circumscribed-polygons
06:53 PM Tom_L: from say 8 sides to up to 144
06:57 PM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Aecb9vNMA skip to .53
06:57 PM Tom_L: need to calculate the wedge sizes for a given circle and number of wedges
07:45 PM rue_mohr: yea, I can make those...
07:45 PM rue_mohr: looks like metric thread, 8 or 10
07:46 PM rue_mohr: might be the angle of the shot
07:46 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, did you solve that?
07:47 PM Tom_L: working on a catia user defined function for it
08:50 PM Tom_L: not getting very far either
10:41 PM rue_mohr: didn't have much time to play with the power converters
10:41 PM rue_mohr: nothing worked, I'm frustrated
10:43 PM Tom_L: same here
10:43 PM Tom_L: https://grabcad.com/tutorials/catia-v5-polygon-udf
11:29 PM Tom_L: making a bit of progress now
11:29 PM Tom_L: needed a different workbench
11:29 PM Tom_L: time to sleep though
11:29 PM rue_mohr: yea
11:29 PM rue_mohr: waiting for supper to finish so I can get eating
11:30 PM Tom_L: he didn't tell me i had to use the surfaces workbench
11:30 PM Tom_L: you have to create all the reference geometry so that it can be used as the user input in the UDF
11:31 PM rue_mohr: ok...
11:31 PM Tom_L: it's like a macro
11:34 PM Tom_L: learning a bit anyway
