it should be possible to construct a circle from highest point of a blade in blisks in radius direction of the blisk. This is need to get the outer diameter and calculate the form error

This is an important function and will help all blisk manufactors which use PC-DMIS Scanning with and without rotary table. Then it is possible to calculate the biggest Diameter on a blisk.

Have you tried the constructed extreme point?  That would give you the highest point (in a chosen direction) of each scan, from which you could then construct your circle.

Hi Neil. Our AE will test this with Customer MTU within the next 2 months :-)

Thanks Daniel.  The extreme point was added to PC-DMIS 2021.2, prior to that, you had to use the MAXINDEX / MININDEX functions.  Please tell the AE to contact me if he'd like a demo of the new command.
