3D Modeler Options: Advanced

The Tools > Options > General Options > 3D Modeler > Advanced options help configure faceting and UDM/UDP.

In the Faceting area, select Incremental faceting or Facet bodies face by face using multiple processors. The Facet bodies face by face will be slower.

In the UDM/UDP Geometry Computation for Optimetrics Analysis area, select whether Engine or Desktop computes the geometry.

Note: Geometry computation with CAD Integration (dynamic links) and geometry sharing in Ansys Workbench is always by Desktop.

In the Geometry Kernel Options, enable Preserve operations history while opening legacy projects to preserve operations history while opening legacy projects that used the ACIS kernel. When opening legacy projects, the conversion is a one-time event. A renamed copy of the original file is preserved. The default is to preserve operations history. If the option is disabled, the operations history is purged. The option to purge history is available because

some operations cannot be replayed in Parasolid.
purging provides backup to translate geometry.
parameterization is lost.
there is a better conversion success rate with purged models.
