In Electrode you can divide the face of a solid to specify the burn region you want to make an electrode for.
To divide a face:
- Select the burn region. The area is highlighted:
- Divide the solid face to remove a portion from the burn region.
- Exclude the portion as required when selecting the burn region:
You can also divide multiple faces by selecting a composite curve before selecting a face to divide. All the faces in contact with the composite curve are divided in one operation.
- Choose an appropriate model, where you have more than one face that you wish to divide.
- Sketch a composite curve to define where to divide the faces. The composite curve can run along lines and curves within the tolerance of the solid as well as along surface curves.
- Click Wizard tab > Electrode panel > Create.
- Click Divide Face to display the Divide Face in Solid dialog.
- Click the
Select Curve
button.
- Select the composite curve.
- Click OK. The
Divide Face in Solid dialog is closed. Move the mouse across the model. You will see that the surfaces have been divided using the composite curve.
- Continue using the Electrode wizard.
