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.
