Convex Irregular Shape Enclosure control automatically creates a convex enclosure of the input scope. The convex enclosure adapts to the input scope shape to minimize the internal enclosed volume using the provided parameters.
Convex Irregular Shape Enclosure Details view has the following options:
General
Scope
Only Part can be selected for creating Convex Irregular Shape Enclosure.
Definition
Define By: Allows you to define the element size based on value or settings. The available options are:
Value: Defines the element size based on the provided value.
Settings: Defines the element size based on the settings under Mesh Settings in the Steps Details view.
Element Size: Provides the element size. When Define By is Value, you can specify the element size. When Define By is Settings, displays the element size calculated based on the provided Mesh Settings in the Steps Details view. The Element Size is read-only. You can click
on the right
corner of the option and click Publish to publish
Element Size to the worksheet. You can parametrize
Element Size only when Defined By
is Value.Mesh Type: Allows you to select the type of mesh to be used for meshing. The default value is Quadrilaterals. The available options are:
Triangles: Creates mesh with triangular elements.
Quadrilaterals: Creates mesh with quadrilateral elements.
Scale Factor: Allows you to define minimal increase in size of the convex enclosure with respect to the input scope. You can click
on the right corner of
the option and click Publish to publish Scale
Factor to the worksheet. The default value is
0.0.Distance: Allows you to specify the absolute distance to change the enclosure distance from the model. The default value is 0.0 mm.
Number of Layers: Allows you to specify the minimal number of volumetric layers to be created between the model and the enclosure. The default value is 2. You can click
on the right corner of the
option and click Publish to publish Number of
Layers to the worksheet.Smoothing Iterations: Allows you to provide the number of smoothing iterations required. The default value is 5. You can click
on the right corner of the option and click
Publish to publish Smoothing
Iterations to the worksheet.Smoothing Preserve Volume: Allows you to preserve the volume after smoothing when Smoothing Preserve Volume is Yes. The default value is No.
