Area Tool

The Area Tool allows the user to compute the area of COP profiles.

This tool allows two types of area computation:

• Area with respects to a reference line
• Area of a closed profile.

Both tools work for a single row of the COP.

The first one should be used when the user is interested to compute the area of a single profile with respects to a reference line.

Configuration example of a area respects a reference line

In order to compute the area of a selected COP row, the user should define the number of points that represent the interpolated line.

Reference line is interpolated using first and last valid points of the COP row

The second one allows the user to compute the area of a closed profile. This profile can be defined by a list of several profiles.

Note:

The computed area on closed profiles could have deviations when the profile is not star-shaped.
