eldon Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Following a suggestion in another thread, I thought to work out and calculate some hatches which simulated perforated plates with a certain percentage open. I calculated on a unit sided hexagon for the pattern repeat, and the holes are 12 sided polygons (dodecagon) to suit, and made a spreadsheet, so that any percentage open can be easily calculated. The process is not automatic so I will not be posting the spreadsheet, but am posting three pattern files.

BIGAL Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Nice idea can use ssget with "F" option to erase the exploded semi-circles on the edges. Which I think was one of the requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Having set up the equations, one can explore further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Even more scalings. I have attached the 50% open hatch pattern file, as it might be useful for some. PerfP50.pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
