yeah.
I did a quick test using an online calculator.
1m radius circle vs 24-gon (standard SU circle) vs 48-gon
here are the areas, perimeters and deviation percentages
-
Circle :
area : 3.14159 m2
perimeter : 6.28318 m -
standard 24 sided circle :
area : 3.10583 m2
% margin : 1.14%
perimeter : 6.26525 m
% margin : 0.29% -
standard 48 sided circle :
area : 3.13263 m2
% margin : 0.29%
perimeter : 6.27870 m
% margin : 0.07%
These result show that a standard 24-sided polygon is already really close to a circle. 1,14% difference of the area is really small.
And if you feel it’s not enough, simply by doubling the sides to 48, you get… well really, 0,29%, it’s a rounding error at this point.
Off course, if 0,29% is still too much for you, then you can still switch back to 2d tools. SU wasn’t designed for aerospace engineering
