Stitch Edge examples

Stitch Edge example 1

In the following graphic, (A) shows a midsurface with a number of unstitched edges. (B) shows the model after the Stitch Edge command was used. Here, the Automatic method and the Both option were used to stitch those edges to other edges and faces.

Stitch Edge example 2

In the following graphic, (A) shows a fan blade model in which the edges of the blade are free. (B) shows the model after the Stitch Edge command was used. Here, the Automatic method and the Both option were used to stitch those edges to other edges and faces.

Stitch Edge example 3

In the following example, we used the Midsurface command to generate a midsurface on a thin-walled part.

First, we used the Stitch Edge command with the Automatic method and the Edge to Edge option to stitch the free edges of the rib faces, shown in (A), into the wall faces. The result is shown in (B). Notice how the free edges between the ribs and the wall faces have been eliminated.

Next, we used the Manual method and the Edge to Face option to manually stitch the bottom edges of the rib faces into the bottom face of the part. Notice how in (C), there is a gap between the bottom edge of the rib and the surface below. In (D), Stitch Edge eliminates this gap and stitches the source edge into the target face.

Finally, we generated a mesh on the part. Notice how the elements along the edges of the rib share common nodes with the elements on the surrounding faces.
