Combine Implicit Geometry

Combine two implicit bodies into one.

A new body is created that envelopes any volume that falls within at least one of the bodies being combined. It is equivalent to a logical OR/disjunction.

  1. On the Implicit Modeling ribbon, select the Combine tool.

  2. Optional: For Visualization Quality, select from Low to Very High quality, which corresponds to a low to very high density of elements. A higher quality produces sharper geometry features but is more computationally intensive. When creating a complicated function, it’s recommended to work using a lower quality and then switch to a higher quality after the function is complete.
  3. Select two or more implicit bodies.
  4. In the guide panel, select a type of Transition:
    • Sharp
    • Fillet: If you selected this option, define the fillet Radius. The fillet radius can be entered directly, assigned using a variable or controlled using a field (field-driven design).
    • Chamfer: If you selected this option, define the chamfer Distance. The setback of the chamfer can be entered directly, assigned using a variable, or controlled using a field (field-driven design).
  5. Click OK.
