Modification Section

The Modification section of the action bar provides commands for modifying shapes.

This page discusses:



Control Points
Modifies a curve or a surface by manipulating control points.
See Using Control Points.


Feature Modeling
Modifies a feature.
See Modeling Features.

This command is available in the ICEM Shape Morphing and ICEM Shape Design for Aero apps.

Matching
See Flyout for Matching


Refit
Adapts the shape of surfaces or curves to support elements.
See Refitting Surfaces and Curves.
Invert and Order
See Flyout for Invert and Order


Smoothing
Smoothes out irregularities.
See Smoothing curves and surfaces.
Extrapolation
See Flyout for Extrapolation


Join
Assemble adjacent curves or surfaces to one element.


Break...
Trims a surface or a curve into two or more parts by using any combination of points, curves, planes, and surfaces.
See Breaking Surfaces.

See Breaking Curves



Untrim
Restores the trimmed curve or surface to its original shape.
Transform
See Flyout for Transform


Disassemble
See Flyout for Disassemble and Fragmentation
Conversion
See Flyout for Conversion


Move
Translates and rotates elements.
See Moving Geometry.
Split
See Flyout for Split

Flyout for Matching



Matching Constraint
Connects surfaces using a range of continuity constraints.
See Creating a Matching Constraint.


Multi-Side Match Surface
Matches a mono-cell non-relimited surface to two to four surfaces.
See Multi-Side Matching.

Flyout for Invert and Order



Invert (Feature)
Inverts and aligns the normals and directions of selected curves and surfaces.
See Inverting Curves and Surfaces.


Invert (Datum)
Inverts and aligns the normals and directions of selected curves and surfaces.
See Inverting Curves and Surfaces.


Order
Changes the order of curves, surfaces and faces.
See Changing the local order.

Flyout for Extrapolation



Extrapolation (Feature)
Extrapolates curves and surfaces.
See Extrapolating Curves and Surfaces (ICEM Shape Design command).


Extrapolation (Datum)
Extrapolates curves and surfaces.
See Extrapolating Curves and Surfaces (ICEM Shape Design command).


Styling Extrapolate
Increases or decreases the length of a curve or surface boundary.
See Extrapolating Curves.

Flyout for Transform



Translate
Translates point, line or surface elements along a vector.


Rotate
Rotates geometry about an axis.


Symmetry
Transforms geometry using a mirror symmetry with respect to a reference plane, line, or point.


Scaling
Scales geometry.


Affinity
Transforms geometry by affinity.


Axis To Axis
Transforms elements positioned according to a given axis system into a new axis system.

Flyout for Disassemble and Fragmentation



Disassemble
Disassembles multi-cell curves or surfaces into mono-cell or mono-domain curves or surfaces.
See Disassembling Shapes.


Fragmentation
Fragments multi-arc or multi-segment elements into mono-arc or mono-segment elements.
See Fragmenting Shapes.

Flyout for Conversion



Curve Conversion
Creates a curve by approximating a set of input data.
See Converting Curves.


Surface Conversion
Converts a multi-cell surface to a single cell surface.
See Converting Surfaces.

Flyout for Split



Split
Splits a surface or wireframe element using a cutting element.


Trim
Trims two or more surface or wireframe elements by cutting each other mutually.
