FreeStyle Shaper, Optimizer & Profiler

New Functionality

Performing a Mirror Analysis
The Mirror Analysis command allows you to mirror elements and some analysis.

Enhanced Functionalities

Compass Management Tools
Three new commands have been added to Quick Compass Orientation toolbar. You can create a new axis system, set the compass to mean plane or trace plane.

Analysis Enhancements

Connect Checker
The parent matching constraint node and individual matching constraints can be selected for connection analysis in the Connect Checker command.
Displaying and Modifying Dress-Up Features
The geometric set or valid elements under it can be given as input elements for dress-up features.
Mapping Analysis with Materials Mode ON
The materials mode is automatically set to ON during mapping analysis if the No warning message if material mode is not ON option is selected. This is applicable to: Draft Analysis, Environment Mapping, Isophotes Mapping Analysis and Surface Curvature Analysis.
Performing a Surface Curvature Analysis
A new analyses type option Mean has been added in the Surfacic curvature dialog box. With the Mean option the computed curvature is equal to (Minimum curvature + Maximum curvature) / 2.
Using Dynamic Cutting Planes
The geometric set or valid elements under it can be given as input elements. Two new options On Point and On Value have been added in Cutting Plane Analysis dialog box.

Creating a Styling Fillet

Approximation tab
The Advanced tab has been renamed as Approximation tab.
Fillet Type
The Fillet Type option added to Styling Fillet dialog box allows you to switch to edge fillet mode.
Logical Join
The Logical Join option allows you to use the Logical Join tolerance in case the factory resolution is too restrictive.
Multiple Fillet Result Management
The multiple fillet result management allows you to keep either one or all sub-elements created.
Output Results
The Output Results area gives you geometric information about the fillet during creation.
Variable Fillet
The Variable Fillet option is available even if a common edge does not exist.

Shape Modification Enhancements

Breaking Curves and Surfaces
The following new enhancements has been done in Break command: element selection, trap selection, create point and create isoparameter and create join.
Breaking Surfaces
Two new options have been added in Break dialog box, Extrapolation area: IsoU Extrapolation and IsoV Extrapolation.
Creating a Matching Constraint
The following new options have been added to Match Constraint dialog box: On basic geometry, locking options and support options.
Styling Extrapolate
A new option Up To has been added in Limit Type list. This option allows you to select a limiting element for extrapolation of surfaces and curves.

Customizing Settings

Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle > General tab, Mapping Analysis option area
The No warning message if material mode is not ON option allows you to set the material mode automatically to ON during the isophotes mapping analysis even though the Materials option in the View > Render Style > Customize View command is cleared.
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle > General tab, Mirror Analysis option area
The Feedback color allows you to select the default color in which the mirrored elements and analysis are displayed when Display mirror tags option is active in the Mirror Analysis dialog box.
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle > General tab, Selection options area
The Filter options : deselect all points option automatically deselects all the selected control points of the selected elements when the Filters mode is changed in the Control Points dialog box.
