  Scenario:
  1. Open Part4.CATPart.
  2. Make sure that Extrude.7 is composed of three
  lines which includes the
  Polygonal lines of 0.5 degree.
  3. Click Local Join icon. Select Exclude.7\Edge.
  Refer pdf file.
  4. Click Heal Parameters. Parameter tag
  Continuity: Tangent
  Tangency objective: 0.11deg
  5. Sharpness tab. Edge to keep sharp: Extrude.7
  \Edge.3
  Sharpness angle: 0.6deg
  6. Click Close.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Now select Edge fillet command and select
  edge.3.
  Both edges are smooth. We can not find the
  difference between them.

Comments

• Incident Diagnosis:
  Edge does not get sharp though "Sharpness tab"
  with "Continuity: Tangent" is specified, it becomes
  smooth instead of sharp.
  .
  Correct Application:
  The angle value of edge to keep sharp is equal
  than the default value as 0.5 degree.
  In all case, an edge is considered as sharp if its
  value is upper than 0.5 degree. The  sharpness
  angle  allows to redefine the low value of angle
  (upper than 0.5 degree) of the sharp egde. So, if
  you select an edge to keep sharp (angle= 2.5
  degree) and you set a sharpness angle to 3
  degree, this edge will not be a sharp edge.
  Regarding this problem, it is advised to use Local
  Healing command instead of Local Join because
  there is nothing to join therefore healing command
  is not launched by local join command.
