Improving Shaded Display with Specialized Tesselation

You can temporarily define an individual tesselation tolerance value.

To improve the shaded display of analyses, you can define a tolerance value ranging from 1.0 mm to 0.001 mm.

Note: Specialized Tesselation is supported by the Parallel Command Session command.

Before you begin:
  1. Open a 3D shape containing surface elements.
  2. In the View section of the action bar, click View Modes... and in the View Modes panel, click Shading with materials .
  3. Perform an analysis providing a shaded result, for example with the Surfacic Curvature Analysis command.

Analyzing Surface Curvature
  1. Click Specialized Tesselation
    • from the Analysis section of the action bar,
    • in the App Options panel, or
    • in the Options section of the Surfacic Curvature panel.
  2. In the Fixed 3D accuracy box, enter a tesselation tolerance of 1.0 mm (micron tessellation) and click Apply.
    The shaded display of analyses shows a strong aliasing at the boundaries of analysis stripes.

  3. Change the tesselation tolerance to 0.001 mm.
    The shaded display shows a smooth course of the boundaries.
