Topology

The Topology options let you control the elements to be selected for ICEM Shape Design and Mechanical Surface Refinement.

  • Only input elements which meet the tolerances defined here will be selected.
  • If the input elements are outside of these values the commands supporting these tolerances should indicate within the graphics which selected input elements do not meet these values.

Topology Creation

G0 (Point)
Where required, all commands should check if the selected input geometry are below the value defined here. If not, the command should not produce a result and indicate which elements are not below the value.

By default, the value is set to 0.005mm.

G1 (Tangency)
Where required, all commands should check if the selected input geometry are below the value defined here. If not, the command should not produce a result and indicate which elements are not below the value.

By default, the value is set to 0.5deg.

G2 (Curvature)
Where required, all commands should check if the selected input geometry are below the value defined here. If not, the command should not produce a result and indicate which elements are not below the value.

By default, the value is set to 5.

G3 (Torsion)
Where required, all commands should check if the selected input geometry are below the value defined here. If not, the command should not produce a result and indicate which elements are not below the value.

By default, the value is set to 15deg.
