    • Publish: Publishes Scoping Pattern to the Property Worksheet.

    • Scope All: Inserts '.*' regular expression to scope all entities.

Definition

  • Define By: Allows you to define the Stacking Defeature Size and Default Offset Size based on value or settings. The available options are:

    • Value: Defines the Stacking Defeature Size and Default Offset Size on the provided value.

    • Outcome: Defines the Stacking Defeature Size and Default Offset Size based on the settings under Stacker Settings in the Steps Details view.

  • Stacking Defeature Size: Allows you to set the tolerance along the stacker direction. Stacking Defeature Size defines the tolerance between successive layers. You can click   on the right corner of the option and click Publish to publish Stacking Defeature Size to the Property Worksheet. You can parametrize Stacking Defeature Size.

  • Default Offset Size: Allows you to set the default offset size for the stacker base face. Default Offset Size defines the thickness of the layer along stacking direction. You can click   on the right corner of the option and click Publish to publish Default Offset Size to the Property Worksheet. You can parametrize Default Offset Size.

  • Conformal Mesh On Contact Surfaces: Allows you to generate the conformal mesh on contact surfaces only for scoped entities of Stacker: Mesh Volume operation only when Conformal Mesh On Contact Surfaces is Yes. The default value is Yes.

Seed Face Scope

  • Define By: Allows you to define the Seed Face Scoping Method and Seed Face Scoping Pattern to the Stacker: Volume Meshing control. The available options are Value and Outcome.

    • Value: Allows you to set manually the value of the Seed Face Scoping Method and Seed Face Scoping Pattern.

    • Outcome: Allows you to select the existing scoped outcomes from the previous steps as input.

  • Seed Face Scoping Method: Allows you to scope the faces outside the input scope whose edges are to be transferred to the base face respected while meshing. The available options are:

    • Label: Allows you to select labels for defining the seed face scope of the Stacker: Volume Meshing control.

    • Zone: Allows you to select zones for defining the seed face scope of the Stacker: Volume Meshing control.
