Idealize geometry

Idealize geometry on a body

1. With the idealized part displayed, choose Home tab→Geometry Preparation group→Idealize Geometry .

2. In the Type group, click Body .

3. In the graphics window, select the body.You can now select options that identify features to be removed.

4. (Optional) To remove specific faces, click Removed Faces (Optional) and then select the faces to remove.

5. (Optional) To remove blends, select the Chain Selected Blends check box. In the graphics window, select a blend.The software selects adjacent blends with the same radius.

6. (Optional) To automatically remove features, under Automatic Feature Removal, select the Holes or Blends check box. Type a value for the criteria.The software selects all features in the body that meet the criteria.

7. Click OK.The selected features are removed.

Idealize geometry in a region

1. With the idealized part displayed, choose Home tab→Geometry Preparation group→Idealize Geometry .

2. In the Type group, click Region .

3. In the graphics window, select a seed face (the first face in the region).You can now select features to be removed.

4. (Optional) To define an outer boundary for the region, click Boundary Faces (Optional) and then select the face or a set of faces.

5. (Optional) To automatically select adjacent faces to include in the region, select the Tangential Edge Angle <= check box and then type an angle value.The software selects faces adjacent to the seed face if the angle between the normal to the seed face and the normal of an adjacent face is less than or equal to the angle value.

6. (Optional) To remove specific faces, click Removed Faces (Optional) and then select the faces to remove.

7. (Optional) To remove blends, select the Chain Selected Blends check box and then select a blend.The software selects the adjacent blends with the same radius.

8. Click Preview Region to see the outline of the region to be simplified.

9. (Optional) To automatically remove features, under Automatic Feature Removal, select the Holes or Blends check box. Type a value for the criteria. The software selects all features that meet the criteria.

10. Click OK.All selected features are removed.
