To modify CAD surfaces along a vector

Use Modify CAD Surfaces - Vector to move CAD faces along a vector. This tool is supported for CAD models only.

1. Click (Geometry tab > Modify panel > Modify CAD Surfaces > Vector).

2. Select the face/s you want to modify.

3. To preserve the shape of fillets or chamfers in the faces adjacent to those you selected, click the Search button to find the fillets and/or chamfers automatically. Adjust this list by selecting different faces in the graphics display, or typing face IDs into the Fillets/chamfers list.

4. Enter the Vector (x,y,z) coordinates that describe the direction and distance to move the faces. You may enter negative values.

   Note: For best results, make small adjustments compared to the minimum thickness of the face.

5. Click Apply.

6. Click Save CAD modification to save the change, and enter a unique name for the modification.

   You can now access the saved modification from the ribbon (Geometry tab > Modify panel > CAD modification)

   Note: For Dual Domain and 3D models, the saved modification is now accessible as a variable in the Parametric Study Builder
