Working with xOptimize Pro

You can create a data preparation operation that simplifies your model for further use. The following steps describe an exemplary execution order that is recommended.

This task shows you how to:

1. Prepare the Geometry

  1. Use the Isolate operator.
  2. Optional: Add the Delete operator to delete redundant or unwanted parts from the isolated model.

    This step is done to speed up the automated preparation.

  3. Optional: Add the Defeature operator to remove geometric features such as holes, fillets or logos.

    Note: This operation only works on NURBS (cgm) models.

  4. Add the Tessellate operator.

    Note: This operation only works on NURBS (cgm) models.

    NURBS (cgm) geometry is transformed into polygonal/triangle (cgr) geometry.
  5. Add the Decimate operator to further reduce the polygon count of the model.

    Note: It is recommended to tessellate NURBS (cgm) models before decimation.

  6. Optional: Add the Jacketing operator.
  7. Optional: Add the Envelop or Impostor - Envelop operator.
  8. Optional: Add the Merge operator.

2. Assign Materials

  1. Add the Unwrap operator.
    A mesh with unwrapped UVs is created.
  2. Add the Material assign operator.
  3. Optional: Use the Projection mapping operator.
