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.
Use the Surfaces: Patch tool to create patch surfaces between free lines that are not connected or surface edges. You can also delete
surfaces with this tool.
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.
