Imprint Tool

The Imprint tool detects coincident faces, edges, and vertices between bodies and imprints them onto the coincident face. The contact regions will be the same shape, and the resulting mesh on each face will be similar. This can be helpful when analyzing stress between two parts.

Note: Curves and Beams that intersect faces create imprinted Points that are converted to Pinned Datum Points.

Sketch points coincident to faces create Pinned Datum Points when imprinted.
