▒ Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifInfinitesimal lines or faces are main sources of error when creating an element. Unintended infinitesimal faces can be created during repeated divisions or shared surface creation during complex geometry modeling.  

Elements are created by linear interpolation of the input size with reference to the division point of the geometry shape. Here, the infinitesimal lines or faces, which cannot create an element, need to be modified by combining with adjacent shapes, deleting or regenerating. This function searches for infinitesimal lines or faces with reference to the input size and deletes or merges them.

8.1 Face/Edge can only be performed on created faces and lines, and Manual delete searches and modifies faces/lines that are sub-shapes of a solid.

 

▒ Methodology

Select infinitesimal line or face shapes manually to delete them from the specified geometry, or automatically figure out the total number and positions of the infinitesimal faces on the solid, with reference to the will-be created element size by entering the infinitesimal length directly. Input the infinitesimal area and press the Find button to highlight faces that are smaller than the input value, as shown in the figure below.

      

It can also delete the sub-shapes of the solid and stretch the adjacent shapes to fit automatically. For example, deleting a small hole on the solid creates a solid that automatically fills the deleted hole.  Selecting a particular face (sub-shape) of a solid cannot maintain the solid shape and so, it is not automatically deleted. In this case, the specified solid needs to be decomposed into faces.
