How to select/assign fillet surface for mesh control faster

alpha_21885

Hi SL experts,

 

Simlab Mesh control is very powerful function to generate good mesh and less dof.

I created many Mesh Control templates but when apply it for new similar CAD geometry, I must select surfaces and assign MC manually again.

May I know if there are any better approaches to do it more automatically or semi-auto? Such as: auto recognize and organize into group with radius information table near by or can show multiple dimensions. Now I have to to many try and errors.

 

Thank you very much.

Select a body or a group of surfaces

Right click

Choose SELECT FEATURES -> recognize fillets based on radius and put it into groups.

 

Once you create the groups, you can use mesh controls template based on groups to assign the MC automatically

Thanks Alessio for your ideas create group and assign group automatically.

I  usually use SELECT features approach but I am even lazier and I am thinking how to do faster for similar parts. Perhaps AI /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

Just record a python macro  which creates groups using Select Features! It's easy!

 

I attach two tutorials explaining how to record a macro for the automatic creation of groups
