The arclengthfx, gx, xab command returns the parametric arc length expressed in cartesian coordinates.
However, for the range given we know it will trace out. By using options, you can specify that the command returns a plot or inert integral instead. Arc length of parametric curves mit opencourseware. We have seen how a vectorvalued function describes a curve in either two or three dimensions. You have to click dimension icon and then select the arc first, then first corner and then second corner. In practice any linear relationship between l and s will be called an arc length.

I seem to have lost the starting values for fx and gx, but they were something along the lines of. Grabcad was built on the idea that engineers get better by interacting with other engineers the world over. Maybe the family requires the addition of a formula that receives input for the desired length, and, based on that length, the formula outputs the required angle.
The following formula computes the length of the arc between two points a, b a,b a, b. It could of course be done by calculating the angle mathematically, but an easier way to do it is to draw the arc with the required radius and centre point, then modify it using the lengthen tool on the modify tab drop down. So, unless the 3d curve you created is just a polyline connecting all the input points, the arc length value you get from that formula is only a very rough estimate of the actual arc length. After completing this module, you should be able to do the following. Middle button click will bring an window asking what dimension is preferred. So in particular, i have here the parametric equations y equals t minus 1 over t, and x equals t plus 1 over t, for 1 less than or equal to t, less than or equal to 2. This is not too difficult if the curve is assumed to be piecewise linear a one liner but if the curve is to be a smoothly interpolated spline, then the problem becomes more difficult.
