Modifying parts with Synchronous Modeling

Video: Use Move Face to edit geometry

To modify a model regardless of its origins, associativity, or feature history, use the Synchronous Modeling commands in the Modeling application, or in the Pre/Post application when the idealized part or master part is displayed.

The CAE analyst obtains geometric models from many sources. These models are not always appropriate for the desired analysis, and may require modification before an analysis can be performed. Typically, features must be simplified or larger physical problems must be corrected, such as the part misalignment. If the analyst is not the original designer of the model, it can be difficult to understand the part well enough to make the appropriate modifications.

You can use Synchronous Modeling to:

  • Resolve inaccuracies, such as gaps and sliver surfaces.

  • Reduce complexity, such as removing holes and fillets.

  • Propose design changes.

  • Examine what-if analysis scenarios.

Design revisions can be quickly applied to the finite element model and the CAD model integrity is maintained.
