Postmodeling
Basic Concepts
- fix modeling errors:
dangling dimensions and relations
extraneous geometry
- fix errors from top of tree
- use Tools>Sketch Tools>Check Sketch for Feature
- calculate mass properties
- perform an interference check
- perform a collision detection, to see if faces clash or collide during an assembly motion
Along the Way
- optimize your design using CosmosXpress
- use FilletXpert (under Fillet) to create multiple fillets quickly. Use change, remove to remove fillets you did not want to keep. It uses FeaturesXpert and Reorder to help resolve problems.
- use DraftXpert (under Draft) to add multiple drafts. Use FeatureXpert and Reorder to help resolve problems. Use Autopaint and Mouse Over to show how much draft is on a face.
- turn off edges for faster rotation
- RMB Display Delete Relations, filter on dangling, pick entities>dangling, pick edge and then replace
- PDMWorks workgroup and toolbox parts have to be thought through before you put data into the vault
- Can use SketchXpert to help solve overdefined sketches (click on Over Defined button)
