A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that
may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in
automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Use the Revolve tool to create axisymmetric revolved regions around select solid bodies. This is useful for creating
regions around rotating bodies like fans, impellers, wheels, and so on.
Use the Midsurfaces tool to extract the midsurface of sheet metal stampings, molded plastic parts with ribs, and other parts that have
thickness clearly smaller than width and length.
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE
studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Points and Nodes
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Lines
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
Midlines
Use the Midlines tool to create midlines from existing lines, surface edges, or tube solids.
Shapes
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
Surfaces

Solids
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Create Revolve Regions

Extract Midsurfaces
Use the Midsurfaces tool to extract the midsurface of sheet metal stampings, molded plastic parts with ribs, and other parts that have thickness clearly smaller than width and length.
Extrude Geometry
Extrude surfaces, nodes, or lines along their normal direction, a vector, or another line.
Create Ruled Surfaces and Solids
Use the Ruled tools to create surfaces/solids by interpolating lines and surfaces either linearly or smoothly.
