Remove fillets

Post by kamocat »

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a macro to remove fillets or replace them with chamfers. I don't need it to be reversible.

My use case is to simplify meshing of PCBs for thermal analysis. KiCAD PCB drawings import with rounded corners on the copper pours, which adds unnecessary complexity to the mesh and dramatically increases computation time for FEM.

Hello.

Please add info required in the post titled IMPORTANT: at top of the forumthread.

Plus some example file would be necessary even if I doubt that a similar task will be possible as probably if solid that compose the pcb were not made by FreeCAD they will be simply shapes with little or none way to modify them without recreating them from scratch.

Redgards.
