Lines From Points

The Lines From Points feature allows the creation of Line Bodies in Ansys DesignModeler that are based on existing points. Points can be any 2D sketch points, 3D model vertices, and point feature points (PF points). The feature's selections are defined by a collection of point segments. A point segment is a straight line connecting two selected points. The feature can produce multiple line bodies, depending on the connectivity of the chosen point segments. The formation of point segments is handled through an Apply/Cancel button property.
