Edit Midmesh Topology
Use the Midmesh: Edit Topology tool to edit midmesh topology.
-
From the 2D ribbon, click the Midmesh > Edit Topology tool.
-
Edit topology.
To edit topology by Do this Suppress edges - Set the Source selector to Lines, then select shared edges in the midmesh.
- Click Suppress.
Imprint lines onto elements - Set the Source selector to Lines, then select CAD lines to imprint.
- Optional: Using the Target selector, select target elements.
- In the microdialog, select one of the
following options:
- Cycle source guide surfaces ()
- Imprint normal to source guide surfaces ()
- Imprint tangential to source guide surfaces ()
- Imprint shortest distance to target ()
- Optional: In the microdialog, click to add, remove, and move the point
handles to modify the imprint preview.
- Add: click on an imprint preview line to add handles.
- Remove: Shift + click on point handles to remove them.
- Move: drag the point handles to move them.
- Reset: set the handles to their initial states.
- Optional: On the guide bar, click and select Align after topology edit to align edges using guide lines after imprint.
- Click Imprint.
Note: If both CAD lines and midmesh shared edges are selected, the Imprint and Suppress buttons are displayed together.Create new edge Split topology to create a new edge in the following ways: - Create a new edge between two nodes.
- Set the Source selector to Nodes.
- Optional: On the guide bar, click and select Align after topology edit to align edges using guide lines after splitting.
- Optional: On the guide bar, check Retain last node to retain the last node of the previous split.
- Select two nodes.
- Create a new edge between a node and an edge.
- Set the Source selector to Nodes.
- Optional: On the guide bar, click and select Align after topology edit to align edges using guide lines after splitting.
- Select a node and an edge.
- In the microdialog, select whether to use a shortest (), source node to imprinted node (), tangential (), or mixed () path.
- Click Split.
- Create a new edge on an FE edge
- Set the Source selector to FE Edges.
- Optional: On the guide bar, click and select Align after topology edit to align edges using guide lines after splitting.
- Click splitedges.
