Creating regions

Regions are areas or selections of connected entities that may include both planar and non-planar surfaces. Regions can represent surfaces of the part, inserts, labels, or the mold. It is often convenient to model surfaces as regions so that properties can be assigned to all elements in one action.

Regions can be created from an STL model, from a Midplane or Dual Domain mesh, or manually by specifying coordinates.

1. Choose one of the menu items under (Geometry tab > Create panel > Regions) (by Boundary, by Nodes, by Ruling, or by Extrusion).
2. Select the nodes and/or curves that form the boundary of the region.
3. Click Browse to assign a property to the region(s).
4. Click Apply to create the region.
5. Click Close to finish creating regions.
   Note: To create a single region using all surfaces of the part, use (Geometry tab > Create panel > Regions > Region from Mesh/STL).
