Nodes


Nodes

Creates nodes by specifying the x, y, z coordinates, picking on existing geometry, on line, or between nodes.

Distance

Finds the distance or angle between nodes.

Node Edit

Associates, moves, or places nodes on a surface.

Temp Nodes

Adds or removes temporary nodes.

Preserve Node

Create, remove, and view preserved nodes.

 

Points


Points

Creates zero-dimensional geometric entities, either from user-specified coordinates or based upon existing higher-order geometry.

 

Lines


Length

Determines the length of a group of selected lines.

Line Edit

Combines lines, splits lines at a point, at a joint, at a line, or at a plane, and smoothes lines.

Lines

Creates lines by picking nodes.

Surfaces


Autocleanup

Performs automatic geometry cleanup and prepares it for meshing based on the parameters set in the panel.

Cones

Creates a surface or mesh for cones or cylinders.

Defeature

Removes surface features.

Drag

Creates a surface or mesh by dragging nodes, lines, or elements.

Dimensioning

Modify specific dimensions of surfaces, possibly altering their shapes.

Line Drag

Creates a surface or mesh by dragging nodes, lines, or elements along a line.

Midsurface

Allows you to extract the midsurface representation of a solid part.

Planes

Creates a planar surface or mesh bounded by planar lines.

Ribs

Creates and modifies simple ribs between two surfaces.

Ruled

Creates a surface or mesh from nodes or lines which are unconnected.

Skin

Creates a surface or mesh skin across a set of lines.

Spheres

Creates a spherical surface or mesh.

Spin

Creates a surface or mesh by rotating nodes, lines, or elements about a vector.

Spline

Creates a surface or mesh with lines.

Surface Edit

Trims surfaces with lines or surfaces, untrims surfaces, and creates surfaces that fill gaps in the model.

Surfaces

Creates surfaces using a variety of techniques.

Torus

Creates a toroidal surface or mesh.

         

Solids


Dimensioning

Modify specific dimensions of solids, possibly altering their shapes.

Ribs

Creates and modifies simple ribs between two surfaces.

Solid edit

Trims/splits, merges, and performs Boolean operations on solids.

Solids

Creates solid entities using various methods.
