Dialog Box

The thread faces of a body often affect the element quality and complicate the solving. The element quality and solving process can be improved by removing the thread faces.

  • Thread faces

    Select the thread faces which are all to be removed. Supported only on FEM faces.

  • Arc/circular edge(axis)

    Select an arc/circle to determine the axis.

  • Radius Option
    • Radius: The radius will automatically be measured from the axis to the closest node on the thread faces and user can modify the radius manually.
    • Node: User can pick a node which will be used to calculate the radius.

Example

  • Input thread faces

  • Output after thread removal

  • Output after remesh
