Defeaturing automatically identifies and removes small features that CAE analysts typically want to eliminate from a 3D model prior to meshing. Typically, the models with which CAE analysts work are also used for design and manufacturing. However, these models often carry much more detail than is appropriate for simulation or analysis purposes. Defeaturing simplifies the model by removing unnecessary detail, a process typically done manually at a significant cost. Defeaturing provides a flexible interface with feature recognition parameters defining the desired level of detail.
Key Features of Defeaturing:
- Automatically identifies and removes specified feature types
- Handles fillets, chamfers, and round holes
- Filters by feature desired size or feature type
