Simplify Sensor/Clip

Geometry > Body > Simplify Sensor/Clip

Description

This tool is used to get simplified representation of sensor/clip from original geometry.

Sensor

  • Top faces

    Select faces at one end of the sensor.

  • Middle faces

    Select one or more faces at middle of the sensor. Middle face should be always planar.

  • Bottom faces

    Select faces at other end of the sensor.

  • Mesh size

    Specify the mesh size.

  • Minimum element size

    This is used to remove all the elements that have element edges less than this value.

Example1

Example2

This example shows how to simplify only one half of the sensor. User can select faces at either one side of the sensor and the middle faces alone.

Clip

  • Top faces

    Select faces at one end of the clip.

  • Middle faces

    Select faces at middle of the clip.

  • Bottom faces

    Select faces at other end of the clip.

  • Mesh size

    Specify the mesh size.

  • Minimum element size

    This is used to remove all the elements that have element edges less than this value.

  • Define Direction

    Define clip extrude direction.

Example1

Example2

This example shows how to create a sheet surface in the clip. Both bottom and middle faces are same.
