Use Surface-based Features to Integrate Surface Modeling into Solid ModelingUsing surface-based features (Thick Surface
and
Close Surface
from the Model section of the action bar,
Split
from the Transform section, and Sew Surface
from the Refine section)
is not a new way of integrating surfaces into solid modeling. However, what
hybrid design changes is the fact that surfaces can be included in the same
body as the features they support.
In such a case, surfaces are necessarily defined before defining the feature. Indeed, this is because that the order principle inherent to hybrid design must be respected. If you modify these surfaces, the solid features located after the modifications will be affected by those modifications. |
