The Segment Mesh command recognizes additional face types and
has an improved user interface.
Additional Face Types Recognized
When you segment meshes, the software can recognize faces that are conical
or spherical, in addition to planes and cylinders. You can convert these recognized
faces to standard BREP faces with the same geometric condition.
Improved User
Interface
In the Segment Mesh PropertyManager, under
Segmenting, the Facet Shape
tool is available. This tool creates segments by grouping adjacent facets based on the
shape difference, which typically indicates a boundary between two regions in the model
used to create the mesh file.
Under
Options, select
Show
Preview to preview the edges for segmented faces, shown as yellow. Under
Perimeter, drag to adjust the value to refine the
segmentation of faces.
When you run the Segment Imported Mesh
Body command, improved graphical information helps you understand which
faces
have
been recognized.
If you have not previously segmented the model, the display of mesh BREP
bodies and hybrid mesh bodies does not change.
- Standard BREP and graphics bodies are optionally hidden.
- Selected faces are highlighted using the Selected Item 1 color specified in .
After the first round of segmenting the model, the following display
changes apply:
- A legend appears to explain the colors used for recognized and
unrecognized faces.
- The software uses the Recognized mesh
face and Unrecognized mesh
face colors
specified
in .
