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.
-
Customizing Settings
-
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle > General tab, Tuning
- You can see the attenuation factor values corresponding to the
coefficient value set in the tuning settings.
-
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle >
Manipulators tab, Furtive Display Variants
- You now have the option to display control points, segmentation, iso-curves
and the free edges of the geometry being created while in a FreeStyle command.
You can specify the default color, line type and the symbol for furtive
elements.
-
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle >
Manipulators tab, Dress-up Variants
- You can now specify the default color, line type and the symbol for control points,
segmentation, iso-curves and the free edges to dress-up the geometry.
-
Tools > Options > Shape > FreeStyle
> General tab, Curve Analysis Result
- You can now choose to keep the cutting plane analysis intersection
curves as NURBS curves.
