Combine performs boolean and splitting operations, such as merging parts and subtracting parts from each other.SpaceClaim Engineer also includes more specialized tools for model preparation. Popular uses include deleting rounds and holes from a model. Fill primarily removes geometry from a part by extending geometry to fill in the surrounding area.Move repositions components and geometry, and can also be used to create patterns (often called arrays).For example, using the Pull tool on a face by default offsets the face, but using the Pull tool on an edge rounds the edge. Pull contains most creation features found in traditional CAD systems, determining its behavior through users’ selection and though the use of secondary tool guides.With ANSYS SpaceClaim 2015, users can regularize triangles to evenly position them across a surface.SpaceClaim's 3D direct modeling technology is primarily expressed through its user interface in four tools: pull, move, fill, and combine: SpaceClaim now supports ANSYS Neutral File (ANF) format export. Its improved integration with ANSYS Workbench brings the ability to import geometry from ANSYS Workbench and ANSYS DesignModeler into SpaceClaim. Integration with the ANSYS Workbench platform, says ANSYS, enables engineers to focus their time and expertise on simulation analysis, not geometry preparation. For example, engineers preparing for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis can take advantage of the new features in SpaceClaim to extract the fluid volume of designs instead of relying on CAD engineers to edit geometries for them.

Upgrades for simulation preparation include new imprint and wrap tools for better control over connections between parts. New simulation cleanup and detection tools for short edges, overlapped faces and corrupt faces have been added. With SpaceClaim 2015, users can drive dimensions from the Pull tool edge pivot as well as import layer contents into selection sets.ĪNSYS SpaceClaim 2015 enables users to wrap solid geometry or surfaces around curved parts. SpaceClaim 2015 now also supports direct connection with ANSYS HFSS software for simulating 3D full-wave electromagnetic fields.
