Fillets solid model fillet

Figure 9.22 shows a solid model of a fillet and a woven carbon fillet (noodle) is shown in Figure 9.23. A bifurcate carbon fillet (noodle) is shown in Figure 9.24. These fillets are used at joints to avoid resin-rich areas.

Two-phase continuum models, in which the solid particles and their associated stagnant fillets of fluid are regarded as a continuous pseudo-solid phase, are to be preferred to the more traditional cell model of a particle bathed in fluid, which does not allow conduction from particle to particle. In previous studies, such models have been simplified by considering a one-dimensional model only (25). This study considers the full equations, which are, in dimensionless form ... 

The basic concept of modification of a shape by form features is volume adding and removing. The shape is then adjusted by fillet and other treatment features. While solid primitives are geometric oriented shapes, form features can be application orientated. In other words, form features can be defined according to their purpose and function in the modeled part and use in a part model. At the same time, form features are often defined as pure geometry.
