.. _auto_curve_bound_smooth:

*COMPUTE THE AVERAGE OF THE BOUNDED CURVE*
==========================================

Clips a curve to a specified bound and then applies a sliding-window smoothing pass to produce a clean, averaged result. Use this worker when you need to suppress noise or outliers in a time-history or XY curve before downstream processing.

Inputs

     - Description
   * - Curve To Be Bound
     - curvetobebound
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Input XY curve (vector) to be bounded and smoothed; typically a time-history signal such as force, acceleration, or displacement.
   * - Slope
     - slope
     - scalar
     - 1
     - 
     - Slope multiplier applied during the bounding step to scale the curve before clipping; dimensionless scalar, defaults to 1 (no scaling).
   * - Window Size
     - windowsize
     - scalar
     - 1
     - 
     - Number of points in the sliding-window used for the smoothing pass; integer scalar, defaults to 1 (no smoothing). Increase to widen the averaging window and reduce high-frequency noise.
