3.4 Retaining intersecting boundaries during part import from ACIS

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: When you import solid parts from an ACIS file into Abaqus/CAE and combine them into a single part, you can now retain the boundaries where the combined parts intersect. This enhancement can help you eliminate invalid geometry for imported geometry.

Description: The Create Part from ACIS File dialog box now provides an option that allows you to retain the intersecting boundaries between imported solid parts when you combine multiple parts from an ACIS file into a single part in Abaqus/CAE. The new option is shown in Figure 3–4.
