Geometry Cleanup allows the Batchmesher to perform a variety of geometry feature recognition and preparation tasks. ?This is one of the main functions of Batchmesher and should be turned on by default. You can choose to turn off this option if you have already performed manual geometry cleanup and only wish to mesh the part. You can turn on/ off cleanup of individual features such as holes, fillets etc. The individual options available in geometry cleanup are: ? surf hole recognition When this option is turned on, you can distinguish holes of different sizes and treat them appropriately. You can add radius ranges in the table and choose one of the following: ? Remove the holes ? Maintain a node at center (mark) ? Add a tag on one of the nodes of the hole ? Force a minimum number of nodes around the holes (for finer mesh) ? Add one or two layers of washers to be created ? Specify width of the washer as a constant value or a scale of the hole’s radius, or let Batchmesher determine the width ? Set higher priority to one range of radii over others. For example, if you wish to ensure all bolt holes (radius 10-15) have correct washers but other holes aren’t critical, holes with radii 10-15 will receive higher priority than others. This ensures that if two holes close to each other in the model have overlapping/conflicting washers, the hole with higher priority gets the washer while the other does not. use file for holes Sometimes certain holes need special treatment. This option allows users to provide a file with X, Y, Z locations of these special holes. The Batchmesher compares these locations to the holes in the job’s models, and prioritizes the holes that match. All the options for surface hole treatment are available for these holes. solid hole recognition This option is valid for parts that form an enclosed volume. The cylindrical surfaces that
