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 Preserve Edges tool to ensure that specific component edges and feature lines do not accidentally get discarded during auto cleanup
or batch meshing.
Perform a model-based CAD-CAD, CAD-FE or FE-FE comparison between two models, or two selections of entities, and find
and report geometrical/shape differences.
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.
Use the Defeature: Fillets tool
to find and remove both round (convex) and fillet (concave) surfaces.
The Defeature: Fillets tool
allows you to select a round or fillet, and find all that are larger, smaller, or
similar (±5%) in size. In general, it is best to remove small fillets first, then
larger fillets, then rounds. When you get to a point where you cannot remove any
more, it is time to use other modeling tools and strategies to complete the geometry
simplification.
Note: FE geometry is not supported for this
tool.
From the Topology ribbon, click the Defeature > Fillets tool.
From the guide bar drop-down menu, select whether to
find Rounds, Fillets, or All.
Optional: On the guide bar, click to define settings used to
find and select rounds/fillets of a specific size.
Click Find on the guide bar.
Rounds and fillets in the model are selected and highlighted
red.
Review each selected round/fillet by clicking and on the guide bar.
Tip: You can also select surfaces manually
without using automatic detection. If you have already used the Features
tool to detect fillets, you can change the entity selector on the guide bar
and select them directly as well.
Optional: Select lines that a fillet should ignore.
Optional: Select lines which make up the end of a fillet.
Optional: Check Use Parasolid to use parasolid geometric kernels
for finding and defeaturing fillets/rounds.
Ignore lines and end lines are not supported when this option is
active.
Remove rounds/fillets in the following ways:
Remove all selected rounds/fillets by clicking Remove All on the guide bar.
Remove individual rounds/fillets by left-clicking on a selected
round/fillet.
