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.
Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include
file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on
the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type,
the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
PostgreSQL Installation and Configuration
Also referred to as Postgres, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.
Section Library
Use the automotive section library for rapid concept development in the early phases of the vehicle design process.
Organize Entities
Use the Organize tool to move or copy entities into their proper destinations.
Match Parts
Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.
Renumber Entities
Use the Renumber tool to review and organize the IDs of model entities.
ID-Management
Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.
Features
Detect, review, and manage geometric holes, fillets, flanges, and logos.
Mechanism Browser
Create and articulate a kinematic mechanism based on FE mesh using the Mechanism Browser.
Model Verification
Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Generate Contacts Automatically
Use the Auto Contacts tool to determine contact interfaces between selections of components or elements. Based on the user-specified options like proximity tolerance, surface creation method, main surface type, and secondary type, the tool generates contacts based on set segments or node and element combinations.
