FreeStyle Shaper Optimizer & Profiler

New Functionality

Performing Quick Mirror Analysis
Using Soft Mirror command, you can now perform quick mirror analysis of geometrical elements without adding the feature to specification tree. This helps you to take a quick check on mirrored elements.

Enhanced Functionality

Multiple Analysis Root Nodes
You can now add and reorder multiple nodes inside root analysis node.
Displaying Geometric Information On Elements
Now you can identify canonical elements and their types using the Geometric Information command.
Displaying and Modifying Dress-Up Features
All the options of the Curves and surfaces dress-up dialog box are now available on the same interface for easy access.
The Variants are created to quickly apply a pre-defined set of attributes using the Dress-Up command.
Displaying Furtive Elements While Creating Geometry
You can temporarily display furtive elements such as control points, segmentation, iso-curves and the free edges of the  geometry being created while in a FreeStyle command. These elements are removed when you exit the command.
Breaking Surfaces
You can now instantly create an isoparametric curve as a limiting element in the context of Break command by clicking on the surface to break.
Keeping the Initial Element
The commands Keep, No Keep and Keep original  in Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench and FreeStyle Shaper, Optimizer and Profiler (FSS) workbenches now support each other in activating\deactivating from either of the workbenches.
Creating a Styling Fillet
The Output Result section in the Styling Fillet dialog box now displays the number of domain in a fillet ribbon.
Performing a Surface Curvature Analysis
The Number of Colors, Use Min Max, Absolute Extrema, Green is Flat and Non-linear Ramp contextual commands are available to customize the color scale for analyzing surfacic curvature.

Enhancements in Dynamic Cutting Plane Analysis

Intrapolation Option
The new interpolation option in the Cutting Plane Analysis dialog box computes interpolated NURBS curves when cloud/mesh surfaces are sectioned.
Edge of surface as input for Cutting Plane Analysis
You can now select the edge of the surface as an input curve for Cutting Plane analysis in planes perpendicular to curves mode.
Keep the Cutting Plane analysis result as NURBS curves
You can now choose to keep the Cutting Plane analysis intersection curves as NURBS curves.

Match Constraint Enhancements

Applying Continuity to Opposite Edge
You can now define continuity on the opposite edge for the matching edges for better transition of the surface.
Display of Maximum Deformation Distance and its Position
The Display deformation distance option in the Match Constraint dialog box displays the maximum deviation value and its position between the original surface and the modified surface. You can also reset the reference surface from where the deformation distance is computed.
Preselection of the Elements for Source Input
The element such a surface or a curve selected before the command is taken as an input for Source element.

Distance Analysis Enhancements

The user interface of the Distance Analysis dialog box has changed and the new options are added to the dialog box.

Selecting Elements
The Source and Target element selection options added to Distance Analysis dialog box allows you to select the set of element between which the analysis is to be performed.
Surface Edge as analysis input
Now you can select the surface edge as an input to perform distance analysis.
Relimit the input curves being analyzed
The Relimitation options added to the Distance Analysis dialog box allows you to modify the limits of the curve with the manipulators of analysis command on both the curves being analyzed.
Absolute Value Display
The User max distance option in the Distance Analysis dialog box displays the absolute value for computation.
Apply Scaling factor
The x2 and /2 scaling options added to the Distance Analysis dialog box allows you to modify the scale of the comb as in Porcupine Curvature Analysis.
