Use the Midsurfaces: Pocket Imprint
tool to imprint pockets, fillets, and other geometry features from the source geometry onto
the midsurfaces.
Imprinting makes midsurface thickness calculations more accurate by creating mesh
boundaries that match the feature boundaries on the original solid, and improves the
meshing quality by capturing the features of the solid model.
-
From the Geometry ribbon, click the tool.
- Optional:
On the guide bar, click
to define imprint options.
-
Select Lines or Surfaces from the Source
selector.
-
Select lines/surfaces.
You are not required to select the midsurface. HyperWorks automatically recognizes the midsurface
corresponding to the solid/surface component from which it was derived and
imprints the lines/surfaces on the midsurface component.
- Optional:
To manually select target surfaces, change the Target surfaces selection option
to Manual, activate the Target
selector on the guide bar, then select make your
selection.
-
Imprint lines/surfaces.
- Click Imprint on the guide bar.
- Left-click on selected lines/surfaces
