Shape defeaturing on geometric objects

Introduction

In order to make the geometry more simply to mesh afterward, the user can achieve slight modifications to the imported geometry by means of various automated functions:

These operations, which are detailed in the corresponding paragraphs, can be done singularly, but can also be performed by the user in one shot, as explained here below.

  • value of the maximum radius of the blends to be removed (in meter)
  • value of the maximum angle of the blends to be removed (in degrees)
  • value of the maximum width of the chamfers to be removed (in meter)
  • value of the maximum diameter of the holes to be removed (in meter)
  • select the objects to be simplified
