OSSmooth may also be used to reduce and smooth surfaces or the surfaces of a domain. The parameter statements pure_surf_reduction and pure_surf_smoothing may be used for this purpose.

The file defined by input_file must be in OptiStruct, and OSSmooth can smooth the surface or the surfaces of a domain of the model.

The usage of in the OSSmooth parameter file is as follows:

#general parameters

input_file            surf

output_file           surf.stl

output_code           3

 

#specific parameters

pure_surf_smoothing   2  10  30.000

pure_surf_reduction   1  10.000
