Merge Thin Bodies

Electronics > Tools > Merge Thin Bodies

Description

This tool is used to identify and remove thin bodies by merging them with their adjacent ones.

Input bodies

Users need to select the input bodies that contain the thin bodies along with their adjacent bodies. Merging will happen only between the bodies chosen as the input.

Thickness

Thickness needs to be specified to identify the thin bodies.

Delete and close gap

If the thin body has a different shape than that of its adjacent body, merging will result in unwanted sections added to the adjacent body. This option is used to overcome that by deleting all the thin bodies and closing the gap that is created after deletion.

Note: This tool is supported only for CAD Parasolid bodies imported with the 'Save geometry in database' option.

Example 1: Delete and close gap – OFF

Example 2: Delete and close gap - ON
