A few missing defaults which I use often are Split Body, Split and Project.įile > SpaceClaim Options > Customize> Shortcuts : Add.Īfter selecting Move and a solid. There are a few which are used so frequently and readily available like S for select, D for 3D mode, E for measure, P for pull etc. My preference is Alternative 2 which uses the Right-mouse button (RMB) for navigation, freeing up the LMB for selection etc.įile > SpaceClaim Options > Navigation > Theme : Alternative 2 I was tired of the indentation on my finger as I use the middle mouse button (MMB). Same as DesignModeler, SpaceClaim plays nice inside Ansys Workbench.Īfter going through the tutorials, here are my top tips I find useful: You could stitch it together to create a solid, then save it as a STL file. Say you get an IGES file and it only imports as surfaces. Learning DesignModeler has been such a significant learning commitment that giving it up becomes difficult.Ī little known fact: the software could be accessed for free without feature restriction for personal education via the Ansys Student.

I believe the reason why some hold back from switching is due to the sunk cost fallacy. To those, I would implore you to give SpaceClaim a try. There are some who are still sticking to DesignModeler as their cleanup tool of choice. To view the logfile, see Extensions / View Log File.From the title, you could infer my feelings towards this nifty tool offered by Ansys.

All files created by CFturbo can be viewed in the workbench.CFturbo export updates can be performed for the complete CFturbo system by selecting Update in the right-click menu of the CFturbo system header.Geometry preparation is performed, but currently no Named Selections are available. PARASOLID : The conversion option has to be used mandatory. If it is active, geometry exports in *.stp format are converted to SpaceClaim's *.scdoc file type, which includes Named Selections of relevant geometry features. STEP : The conversion option is optional. This option applies to all SpaceClaim exports from CFturbo and can be set in the Project Schematic properties of the CFturbo setup cell (' Convert *.stp to *.scdoc'). The CFturbo Workbench extension provides an option to process the geometry in SpaceClaim.CFturbo can export geometry to SpaceClaim in 2 alternative formats: STEP, PARASOLID.
