Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces. PolyNURBS combines the ease and simplicity
of polygonal modeling with the precision and flexibility of NURBS, allowing you to quickly create free-form solid
geometry that is smooth and continuous.
Measure dimensions, analyze curvature, check for continuity and watertightness, analyze the draft, detect undercuts,
assign tags to entities, edit and visualize streamlines as static images or animations, create design iterations on
the fly, and assign variables.
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined
dimensions. You can also insert a general annotation to label the parts of your model.
Define the symmetry boundary conditions. You can define up to two symmetry planes. The second symmetry plane must
be parallel or orthogonal to the first.
Export selected objects to a common folder used to exchange data with other Altair products. For example, you can export a die design from Inspire Studio to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
First define the part and then adjust the draw direction to create a draw
die.
Assign
Select a part and define the thickness and position.
Symmetry
Define the symmetry boundary conditions. You can define up to two symmetry planes. The second symmetry plane must be parallel or orthogonal to the first.
Set Draw Direction
Adjust the draw direction to minimize the depth and avoid negative drafts with the help of the Depth Box and Draft Analysis.
