Critical dimensions incorporated in the mesh

When you add a Critical dimension boundary condition to a CAD model, the end points of the dimension correspond to nodes when you mesh the model.

Prior to this release you had to generate the mesh and then select the nearest node to the critical dimension, a source of error.

Now, when you set a critical dimension on a CAD body, the generated mesh consistently incorporates the critical dimension end points as nodes on the mesh.

This applies for the following mesh types

• 3D
• Dual Domain
• Midplane

Limitations

This feature is supported for CAD models, only.
