The IfcSecondOrderPolynomialSpiral is a specialization of IfcSpiral. The curvature κ and radius of the curvature ρ, at any point of the curve, are related to the arc length s by the second order formulae:
Interpretation of the parameters:
C = SELF\IfcSpiral.Position.Location
x = SELF\IfcSpiral.Position.P[1]
y = SELF\IfcSpiral.Position.P[2]
A2 = QuadraticTerm
A1 = LinearTerm
A0 = ContantTermand the second order polynomial spiral is parameterized as:
where:
and the parametric range is: -∞ < u < ∞.
