Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, there are some basic Ansys SpaceClaim Tutorials that you can use to help you get the most out of this powerful modeling tool. These tips and tricks will help you speed up your workflow, create more effective models, and increase your productivity in the design and modeling process.
Recording blocks
ANSYS SpaceClaim has been the go to tool for engineers for years. Historically it has been a little more lenient with its parametric CAD modeling capabilities. But this year it’s introducing some cool new features. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Ansys SpaceClaim Capabilities most impressive feature is its scripting capabilities. This lets you record custom Python API scripts, import existing ones, and convert 2D sketches into 3D models. But it’s not just scripting that makes this the new kid on the block. For example, SpaceClaim can handle bi-directional CAD transfer. And thanks to the recent release of the CAD suite, users can now share topology settings with other programs in their workflow chain. This is important when dealing with meshing domains.
The block recording feature is a bit more complicated than its counterpart. You can also invalidate some of its functions by removing geometry.
Modifying imported geometry
ANSYS SpaceClaim provides a very user-friendly interface to edit imported geometry. It allows users to modify existing parameters, prepare CAD files and create 2D and 3D models. It is ideal for engineers who want to develop a model and get 3D answers as fast as possible. It offers tools to speed up the geometry preparation process and prepare models for simulation, manufacturing and 3D printing.
Ansys SpaceClaim has a built-in direct modeling technology that lets users edit and prepare CAD files for simulation. This technology eliminates the need for history-based parameter values and eliminates geometry problems related to 3D CAD operations. It also allows users to modify and create 2D and 3D models for manufacturing and simulation.
SpaceClaim allows users to import geometry from SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and many other 3D applications. It also has an integrated Excel plugin.
Creating scripts
Creating scripts for Ansys SpaceClaim will enable you to automate repetitive tasks and perform complex tasks. This is a valuable tool when working with highly parametric models.
SpaceClaim supports Python scripting. This means that users can write scripts that perform geometric operations. These scripts can then be saved as a Python file and compiled to produce an STL file. The Script Record is available from the “Design” ribbon.
Scripting allows users to automate complex operations, create named selections and perform geometric operations. Scripts can be saved to Parameter Groups. These groups allow for easy modification of values and can be used in Ansys design studies.
SpaceClaim’s Block Record feature is useful for tracking changes in script blocks. Users can also add snippets to their scripts. These snippets are chunks of code that have tooltip help. These are then presented in a dropdown folder browser.
Using the power selection tool to highlight all objects
Using the power selection tool in Ansys SpaceClaim is a useful tool to help find objects within a specified tolerance. It also can highlight objects that aren’t in a defined size. In addition, the tool can be used to remove objects that are too similar to the ones you’re looking at. This article provides an overview of the power selection tool and a few tips to help you get the most out of it.
In addition to the power selection tool, SpaceClaim can handle thousands of small parts and assemblies. It also knows how to create surfaces. You can also customize the boundary conditions for each of your CAD models using the Workbench. You’ll also be able to recognize CAD parameters using the Parameter Key property.
