A point is a zero-dimensional geometric entity.
Nodes are the most basic finite element entity. A node represents a physical position on the structure being modeled.
Use the Create Points/Nodes tool to create and edit points/free nodes on geometry surfaces and lines or in space.
Control which nodes are on the temporary node mark.
Create evenly spaced or biased nodes by interpolating between existing nodes in space, on a surface, or on a curved or straight line.
Use the Extract Points/Nodes tool to interpolate and divide an edge or line, and find the center of an arc, fillet, or multiple curve segments.
A line represents a curve in space and is not attached to any surface or solid. A line is a one-dimensional geometric entity.
Use the Midlines tool to create midlines from existing lines, surface edges, or tube solids.
Create and edit circles and rectangles with the Shapes tool.
A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Use the Revolve tool to create axisymmetric revolved regions around select solid bodies. This is useful for creating regions around rotating bodies like fans, impellers, wheels, and so on.
Use the Midsurfaces tool to extract the midsurface of sheet metal stampings, molded plastic parts with ribs, and other parts that have thickness clearly smaller than width and length.
Extrude surfaces, nodes, or lines along their normal direction, a vector, or another line.
Use the Ruled tools to create surfaces/solids by interpolating lines and surfaces either linearly or smoothly.
Explore the tools used to edit geometry.
Clean up problematic areas on geometry.
Use the Simplify Region tool to create simple shapes around selected geometry.
Work with discrete geometry like FE Geometry and floating elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
Generate surface/volume mesh by defining mesh controls, or interactively create and edit 2D surface mesh.
Prepare your model and run the simulation.
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
Automate simulation processes with templates and utility scripts.
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
More resources for AcuSolve and ultraFluidX solvers.
