Use the Import Model Options for global settings affecting geometry refresh and scaling.
- Always Update Geometry from Source
If enabled, the geometry will always be refreshed, even if nothing is changed. Default is disabled.
- Always Import Parts, Sizes from Tetin File
If enabled, the model parts and size information will be extracted from the geometry file. This can help to speed meshing parameter setup for a modified geometry. You can choose which information is imported using the Import Parameter from Tetin file list under Geometry Options.
Default is version dependent:
Off for the stand-alone version.
On for the data-integrated (Workbench add-in) version.
You can override this setting in the Import Model DEZ.
- Always Create Material Points
If enabled, the software will calculate a material point from the imported geometry. Default is enabled.
You can override this setting in the Import Model DEZ.
Note: When using this option along with , you should be disable , under > , to avoid creating a material point that will not be scaled with imported sizes.
- Always use Reference Key for Import of Geometry
If enabled, geometry entity names will be derived from reference keys in the geometry file, improving persistence and making them longer. Default is disabled.
Typically, names of curves and surfaces are short and usually persistent. For certain workflows, parameter changes may cause topology changes (example: splitting an edge into multiple segments), which may affect the geometry entity names causing scripting difficulties.
- Always Import Mesh if Model File contains blocking
If enabled, the SpaceClaim geometry will not be converted to a tetin file. Instead, the software will load the existing tetin file from the SpaceClaim file, together with the blocking file, and automatically convert the existing pre-mesh to unstructured mesh.
Note: This option applies only to SpaceClaim files that contain a blocking.
- Import Named Selections only
Used to automatically set a preferred state for the Named Selections only check box in the Import Model DEZ. Default is off.
- Always Convert Geometry to Unit
If enabled, the geometry will be converted and scaled to the Unit selected. Default is disabled - units will be read from the imported model file.
You can override this setting in the Import Model DEZ.
