Explore the tools used to create geometry.
Use the Split tools to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
Use the Imprint tool to imprint geometry onto target surfaces or lines, thus creating new fixed points or edges.
Use the Drag/Spin tool to push or pull surfaces and spin lines and surfaces in order to creates surfaces or solids.
Use the Boolean tool to combine solids, subtract one solid from another, and find the intersection out of the solids.
Separate solids that are connected at a shared interface.
Use the Plug tool to find and fill cavities. The Plug tool can also be used to remove protrusions, holes, and complex features.
Use the Scale tool to resize geometry in your model.
Use the Mirror tool to mirror/reflect selected entities across a symmetry plane.
Use the Fuse tool to connect discrete topology surfaces/solids/parts. The Fuse tool can be utilized to connect close proximity inputs by defining a threshold.
Merge two or more solids or surfaces. Solids are merged by removing shared faces while surfaces are merged by suppressing shared edges.
Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
When performing cleanup or defining simulation parameters, it can be helpful to first find and isolate certain types of geometry. This will give you a better idea of the areas in the model you need to focus on.
Set up the simulation model, materials, domains, and boundaries.
Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
Define direct, derived, and constrained mesh motion.
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Define output conditions, run the simulation, and view the results.
Use the Template Manager to define rule-based logic for groups, geometric operations, and setup and automate simulation processes.
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
