Desig
• DesignModeler is primarily intended to provide geometry to an analysis environment. For this reason we need to see how DM treats various geometries gnM
odele
• DesignModeler contains three different body types:– Solid body: body has surface area and volume– Surface body: body has surface area but no volume
Li b d b d i t ti l f d l
er– Line body: body consists entirely of edges, no area, no volume
• By default, DM places each body into one part by itselfIndividual parts will always be meshed separately.If bodies in separate bodies share faces, the mesheson those shared faces will not be matched
– Multiple bodies in a single part will have matchedmeshes on shared faces when meshed

Active and Frozen Bodies…Training Manual
Desig
• There are two body states in DM:– Active:
• Body can be modified by normal modeling operations
gnModele
• Body can be modified by normal modeling operations (cannot be sliced)
• Active bodies are displayed in blue in the Feature Tree View• The body's icon in the Feature Tree View is dependent on
its type solid surface or line
Active
erits type - solid, surface, or line– Frozen: (>Tools>Freeze)
• Main Purpose: – Provides alternate method for Assembly Modeling.
• A Frozen body is immune to all modeling operations except slice, blend, chamfer, face delete and split edges.
• To move all active bodies to the Frozen state, use the Freeze feature.
Frozen
• To move individual bodies from the frozen to active, select the body and use the Unfreeze feature.
– Frozen bodies are displayed as transparent in the Tree View.

• You create 3D geometry from 2D sketches by creating a 3D feature. Common examples include:
– Extrude er
– Sweep– Revolve– Skin/Loft– Thin/Surface
• The effect of the feature creation is determined by the type of the feature, the Boolean operations performed as it is created, and the extent of the feature (fixed, to next, through all, etc.)

Desig
• Sweep:– Solids, surfaces, and thin-walled features can be created by using this feature
to sweep a profile along a path
gnModele
to sweep a profile along a path– Scale and Turns properties can be used to create helical sweeps
• Scale: tapers or expands the profile along the path of the sweep• Turns: twists the profile as it sweeps along the path erp p g p• A negative value for Turns will make the profile rotate about the path in the
opposite direction. +Turns: Rotates counterclockwise• See documentation for other restrictions
Ali t– Alignment:• Path tangent: reorients the profile as it is swept along the path to keep the
profile in the path's tangent direction• Global: the profile's orientation remains constant as it is swept along the p p g
path, regardless of the path's shape
