Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
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 the Boolean: Detach tool to separate selected solids from
neighboring solids that share one or more common faces.
Shared or partition faces between selected solids and surrounding solids duplicate to
become bounding faces of the separated solids. Partitioning faces within the
selection are maintained after they are detached from the rest of the model.
From the Geometry ribbon, click the Boolean > Detach tool.
Figure 1.
Select solids.
In the microdialog, select one of the following
options:
Option
Description
Detach all
Selected solids detach from neighboring solids and
each other.
Figure 2.
Detach from each other
Selected solids detach from each other
but maintain an interface with neighboring solids.
Figure 3.
Detach from not selected
Selected solids detach from
neighboring solids while maintaining an interface within themselves.
