Geometry
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
- Convert Geometry
  Use the Convert tool to tessellate b-spline geometry and convert to mixed or discrete geometry.
- Repair Geometry
  Review geometric errors in the model's surfaces and solids and fix any defects.
- Create Geometry
  Explore the tools used to create geometry.
- Edit Geometry
  Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
  - Split Surfaces and Solids
    Use the Split tools to create fixed points and split surfaces or solids using a variety of methods.
    - Split Interactive
      Use the Split: Interactive tool to quickly create fixed points on surfaces and edges, and split surfaces with lines. You can also remove fixed points from surfaces or surface edges to unsplit them.
    - Split with Nodes
      Use the Split: Nodes tool to split surfaces using ordered (node list/path) and non-ordered node selections.
    - Split with Lines
      Use the Split: Lines tool to split surfaces and solids using lines, bounding lines, offset lines, and graphical lines.
    - Split with Surfaces
      Use the Split: Surfaces tool to split surfaces and solids using surfaces.
    - Split with Planes
      Use the Split: Planes tool to split lines, surfaces, or solids.
    - Perform Parametric Trimming
      Use the Split: Parametric tool to restore suppressed fixed points.
    - Split by Curvature
      Split surfaces based on curvature or angle.
  - Stitch Surfaces and Suppress Edges
    Use the Stitch tool to stitch and unstitch adjacent or overlapping surfaces, and suppress or unsuppress edges.
  - Imprint Geometry
    Use the Imprint tool to imprint geometry onto target surfaces or lines, thus creating new fixed points or edges.
  - Drag and Spin
    Use the Drag/Spin tool to push or pull surfaces and spin lines and surfaces in order to creates surfaces or solids.
  - Combine, Subtract, Intersect Solids
    Use the Boolean tool to combine solids, subtract one solid from another, and find the intersection out of the solids.
  - Disconnect Solids
    Separate solids that are connected at a shared interface.
  - Find and Fill Cavities
    Use the Plug tool to find and fill cavities. The Plug tool can also be used to remove protrusions, holes, and complex features.
  - Scale Parts
    Use the Scale tool to resize geometry in your model.
  - Mirror Entities
    Use the Mirror tool to mirror/reflect selected entities across a symmetry plane.
  - Merge Solids or Surfaces
    Merge two or more solids or surfaces. Solids are merged by removing shared faces while surfaces are merged by suppressing shared edges.
- Geometry Cleanup
  Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Discrete Geometry
Work with discrete geometry like FE Geometry and floating elements.
Model Build and Assembly
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Flow
Set up the simulation model, materials, domains, and boundaries.
Radiation
Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
Motion
Define direct, derived, and constrained mesh motion.
Meshing
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Solution
Define output conditions, run the simulation, and view the results.
Manage Automation Templates
Use the Template Manager to define rule-based logic for groups, geometric operations, and setup and automate simulation processes.
Post-Processing
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
AcuTrace
AcuTrace is particle tracer that runs as a post-processor to AcuSolve.
