About this Block

What it does: The Cubic Bezier block creates an Implicit Body whose boundary is formed by a smooth, implicit cubic Bézier curve. The shape of the curve is controlled by four points. Cubic Bezier Common uses:
  • Designing aerodynamic profiles for wings, fuselages, and other vehicle bodies.
  • Modeling smooth transitions in components like ducts, inlets, and nozzles to manage fluid flow.
  • Creating architectural features like arches and curved facades.
Tips
  • For advanced applications, you can use a Ramp or Distance to Curve from Axis block to vary the points.
  • You would need to combine it with a Boolean Intersect block to create a solid since the block only outputs the implicit surface.
