Fan Tool
The Fan tool converts bodies to Icepak fans.
Note: This tool is available in the Workbench tab of SCDM licenses only.
This tool has two modes.
- One functions like the Midsurface tool, in that pairs of coaxial and opposite-facing faces are Ctrl-selected. On the second selection, the fan is created.
- In the second mode, either the hub (inside) or shroud (outside) face is selected and then the Complete tool guide is clicked to create the fan.
Note: As fans are created, the original geometry is deleted and
replaced with simpler bodies, so it is easier to see which fans have been converted. If
the case used to create the fan is not square, the tool adjusts it to be square.
