Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
Use the Create Points/Nodes tool to create and edit points/free nodes on geometry surfaces and lines or in space. Points and nodes can be used
to establish reference locations for geometry construction and meaningful snap locations for use with other tools.
A face is a single Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) and is the smallest area entity. It has a separate underlying
mathematical definition, specified when it was created.
Use the Extract tool to convert sketches into geometry lines and surfaces with the realize option. Delete lines and
surfaces converted from a sketch entity with the unrealize option.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
Control which nodes are on the temporary node mark.
Since all nodes not currently referenced in the model are deleted, the temporary node
mark is provided as a holding area to save the nodes you are not currently using.
Those nodes are saved as long as they are in the temporary node mark.
From the Topology ribbon, click the Create Points/Nodes tool.
From the drop-down menu on the guide bar, select
Mark Free Nodes.
Select the nodes that you want placed in or removed from the temporary node
mark.
If a structural node is selected, it just displays the structural node, but
the ID remains the same. Essentially, it does not create a new node on top of
the structural node. It just shows or marks the structural node.
In the microdialog, choose whether to add or remove the
selected nodes to/from the mark.
Click .
When nodes are removed from the temporary node mark, the node is deleted if it
is not attached to a structural element, and is not used by a card in the database.
Tip: Click
on the guide bar to clear all nodes at
once.
