Chapter 2: cad-assemblies/

cad-assemblies/add-prefix

Enables you to add a prefix to the selected entities. Specify the path for the entities and the prefix to be added.

cad-assemblies/add-to-object

Enables you to add the selected CAD entities to an existing object. Specify the path for the entities to be added and select the object to be modified.

cad-assemblies/create-objects

Enables you to create new geometry/mesh objects for the selected entities. Specify the path for the entities and if required, choose to create one object per CAD entity selected and/or retain the CAD zone granularity for object creation. By default, a single object will be created for all entities selected and the CAD zone granularity will not be retained. Specify the object name (if applicable), object type (geom or mesh), and cell zone type (dead, fluid, or solid).

cad-assemblies/delete-cad-assemblies

Deletes all the CAD assemblies data.

cad-assemblies/draw

Displays the selected CAD entities.

cad-assemblies/draw-options/

Contains additional options for displaying CAD entities.

cad-assemblies/draw-options/add-to-graphics: Adds the selected entities to the display in the graphics window.
cad-assemblies/draw-options/draw-unlabelled-zones: Displays the unlabeled zones for the selected entities in the graphics window.
cad-assemblies/draw-options/remove-from-graphics: Removes the selected entities from the display in the graphics window.

cad-assemblies/extract-edge-zones

Enables you to extract the feature edge zone for the selected entities. Specify the path for the CAD entities and the feature angle.

cad-assemblies/labels/

Contains options for displaying and managing labels.

cad-assemblies/labels/add-to-graphics: Adds the selected labels to the display in the graphics window.
cad-assemblies/labels/delete: Deletes the selected labels.
cad-assemblies/labels/draw: Displays the selected labels.
cad-assemblies/labels/remove-from-graphics: Removes the selected labels from the display in the graphics window.
cad-assemblies/labels/rename: Enables you to rename the selected labels. Specify the path for the labels and the new name. For multiple selections, the specified name will be used, with a suitable index as suffix. For example, specifying a new label name wall will result in entities wall.1, wall.2, etc.

cad-assemblies/manage-state/

Contains options for setting the CAD entity state.

cad-assemblies/manage-state/suppress: Suppresses the selected CAD entities.
cad-assemblies/manage-state/unlock: Unlocks the selected CAD entities.
cad-assemblies/manage-state/unsuppress: Unsuppresses the selected CAD entities.

cad-assemblies/rename

Enables you to rename the selected entities. Specify the path for the entities and the new name. For multiple entities, the specified name will be used, with a suitable index as suffix. For example, specifying a new name wall will result in entities wall.1, wall.2, etc.

cad-assemblies/replace-object

Enables you to replace an object with the selected CAD entities. Specify the path for the entities to be added and select the object to be modified.

cad-assemblies/update-cad-assemblies

Reimports the selected CAD entities using new parameters specified in the update-options/ menu.

cad-assemblies/update-options/

Contains options for updating the CAD entities on reimport.

cad-assemblies/update-options/import-edge-zones?

Enables you to import edge zones from the CAD entities on reimport. Specify an appropriate value for feature angle.

cad-assemblies/update-options/one-object-per

Enables you to change the CAD object granularity on reimport.

cad-assemblies/update-options/one-zone-per

Enables you to change the CAD zone granularity on reimport.

cad-assemblies/update-options/tessellation

Enables you to control the tessellation (faceting) during reimport. You can select either cad-faceting or cfd-surface-mesh.

CAD faceting enables you to control the tessellation based on the CAD faceting tolerance and maximum facet size specified.

CFD Surface Mesh enables you to use a size field file during reimport. If you enter yes, specify the size field file to be read. If you do not want to use a size field file, you can obtain conformal faceting based on the underlying curve and surface curvature (using the minimum and maximum facet sizes, and the facet curvature normal angle specified) and edge proximity (using the cells per gap specified). You can also save the size field in a file (size field is computed based on the specified parameters; that is, Min Size, Max Size, Curvature Normal Angle, Cells Per Gap).
