Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: Abaqus/CAE now includes offset, extend, and blend face tools in the Geometry Edit toolset. These tools can be used to edit or repair solid and shell geometry by creating new faces. They are also useful for creating midsurface models.
Description: In addition to the existing tools in the Geometry Edit toolset, the new offset and blend tools allow you to add new faces to existing part geometry. The extend tool allows you to extend model faces either in all directions or by selecting the edges through which you want the faces to extend. The existing Create Face tool was renamed Cover to reflect its use—covering a loop of edges with a new face—and to keep it distinct from the new tools, each of which also creates new faces in the model.
