Repair: Simplify B-Spline

Function

Simplify B-Spline corrects irregular Shapes (B-Spline Type) to Canonical Shapes which are substantially beneficial in computational speed and accuracy.

Call

Geometry > Repair > Simplify B-Spline

<Optimize Tolerance>

Select Object Shape(s)

Select Shapes to be redefined.

 

Face

Specify options for selected Faces (including sub-Faces).

Recognize

This option includes Faces in Simplify B-Spline operation.
 Merge

If multiple Faces can be redefined into a single canonical Face, this option merges them together. For example, a Shell, which contains several planar Faces on a single plane, would become a single planar Face.
 

Edge

Specify options for selected Edges (including sub-Edges).

Recognize

This option includes Faces in Simplify B-Spline operation.
 Merge

If multiple Edges can be redefined into a single canonical Edge, this option merges them together. For example, a Wire, which contains several Edges of an Arc, can become a single Arc Edge.
 

Tolerance

Enter a Tolerance for Simplify B-Spline Operation.

Notes

B-Spline Edges and Faces significantly reduces modeling efficiency and accuracy compared to Canonical Shapes. Therefore, it is recommended to keep all Shapes in Canonical Shapes as much as possible.
