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.
Attention: The icons shown on the ribbon below are used to
complete this workflow. Click an icon to learn more about the tool.
Organize Assemblies, Parts, and Bodies
Use the Part Browser and the right-click menu options to organize your model into a hierarchy of assemblies, parts, and bodies.
Bulk Import
Use the Bulk tool to load all CAD files in one go, sanitize names, remove small bodies, split parts per body, and save a representation for each part.
Load and Save Part Representations
Use the Representation tool to load and save representations for selected parts. This is useful for storing and retrieving data as required.
Group Entities
Collect entities, such as parts and surfaces.
Find Duplicates
Use the Duplicates tool to locate tiny and duplicate parts in b-spline CAD models.
Merge and Split Parts
Use the Merge/Split tool to merge parts or split them by connectivity or by face.
Find and Isolate Specific Geometry Types
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.
View Entity Count
View the number of entities present in the current model.
Assign Metadata
Assign metadata values to selected entities. Once assigned, metadata can be used in advanced selection.
