16 Basic Tasks Basic Tasks This section describes the basic tasks that allow you to complete the mesh of a part using CATIA - FEM Surface. These tasks include: Cleaning Geometry file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0000.htm [09/26/ :21:30]

17 Cleaning Geometry Cleaning Geometry Geometrical parts often present small holes or defects that should be ignored during the analysis. The clean geometry command is intended to let the user specify which of these details will be ignored by the mesher. It deals with three types of geometric problems: Holes in the geometry. Button hole - like gaps. file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0200.htm [09/26/ :21:32]

18 Removing Holes Removing Holes This first task shows you how to ignore holes in the geometry. You can use the Sample03.CATPart document from the samples directory for this task. 1. Create a new Mesh on the part. 2. Click the Remove Holes icon The diameter parameter is used to ignore all holes that are smaller than the given value. 3. Set the diameter value to 10 mm and click Apply. See how the ignored holes are turned blue. file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0201.htm (1 of 2) [09/26/ :21:34]

19 Removing Holes 4. Click a green hole. It is turned blue and will then be ignored by the mesher. 5. Click a blue hole. It is reactivated and will be taken into account by the mesher. file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0201.htm (2 of 2) [09/26/ :21:34]

20 Removing Button Hole Gaps Removing Button Hole Gaps This task demonstrates how to configure the mesher to ignore button hole gaps. You can use the Sample02.CATPart document from the samples directory for this task. 1. Create a new Mesh on the part. Button hole gaps are automatically detected by the program and are displayed in magenta on the part. 2. Click the Remove Holes icon. 3. You can configure the mesher to ignore button hole gaps by simply clicking on the magenta contours. Now, they will be ignored by the mesher. In fact, the facing edges of the gap will be merged and the file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0202.htm (1 of 2) [09/26/ :21:38]

21 Removing Button Hole Gaps result will be considered as a standard edge. file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsugbt0202.htm (2 of 2) [09/26/ :21:38]

22 Glossary Glossary C crack A geometry defect that occurs when two adjacent faces, near the free edges, are not topologically linked. G global size The target size for element edges. M minimum size Minimum size of an edge of an element. When the detail elimination option is active, the mesher does not generate elements with edges shorter than the minimum size. P part A 3D entity obtained by combining different features in the Part Design workbench. Please see CATIA - Part Design User's Guide for further information. file:////moyenne/users/cma/fmsdoccxr5/fmsenglish/fmsug.doc/src/fmsuggl.htm [09/26/ :21:46]
