When you use SMARTElectrode you need to cleanup and detail the electrode solid before adding the base:
- Click to replace surface through surface. SMARTElectrode also creates various replace features to replace multiple selected surfaces with one target surface. Selection of an external
target surface creates a copy-geom of the surface before the replace feature is created.
- Click to thick selected surfaces.
- Click to expand selected surfaces.
- Click to remove selected surfaces. Starts interactive selection with available regions if nothing to remove.
- Click to remove material on one side of a datum.
- Click to pattern geometry. Takes existing base into account.
- Click to mirror geometry at datum.
- Click to create a Creo extrude feature.
- Click to create a Creo revolve feature.
- Click to create a Creo Sweep feature.
- Click to fill the gap between selected surfaces and datum FREE_FACE with solid geometry. Auto-attach expands the solid by option
value FINISH_DEFAULT_OFFSET and fills the remaining gap with a straight solid.
- Click to fill the gap between selected surfaces and datum FREE_FACE with a straight solid geometry.
- Click expands the solid to FREE_FACE along original surface definitions.
- Click to auto-attach the solid to datum FREE_FACE and add supporting geometry.
- Click add supporting geometry for selected surfaces or the whole contour.
- Click to separate not contiguous regions of a surface from each other. Separated regions get new geom-ids. Unlike the Creo feature
the implementation in SMARTElectrode also works on selected features, giving the possibility to divide all surface regions
of a cutout.
- Click to create a rectangular shaped solid enclosing selected surfaces. The solid is created as independent geometry.
- Click to create a rectangular shaped cut enclosing selected surfaces. The cut is created as independent geometry.
- Click to expand selected geometry with tangential boundary.
- Click to extrude selected geometry with draft angle.
- Click to create user-defined feature from library
Note
Detailing functions can be activated with empty selection buffer or pre-selected surfaces. SMARTElectrode automatically starts
interactive selection with available frame selection.
