Hello, everyone,
I am measuring the body's parameters of the seden car from the CATIA file, there is the detail information of the ARCs of a curve, such as the radius, start pionts, central pionts, and radian of the ACRs. I want to know How to calculate the MEAN RADIUS of the curve.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

You can draw a circle through any 3 points. I would use a spreadsheet to calculate the radii for different sets and then take an average.
If you have a CAD system then it is a part of the curve fitting process. It depends if doing it by eye is good enough, or if you need some statistical average.
