VISI Modelling – Splitting
2. ISOCLINE CURVE
This function produces the isocline curves to an angle and a tolerance set by the user. An
isocline curve produced at zero degrees will produce a result similar to that of the Split
Line function.
3. IMPRINT ELEMENTS ONTO BODY
This function imprints wireframe geometry on to the selected solid. The imprinted edges
are then treated as Split Line edges. This command is very useful for when you need to
add some curves manually, to achieve the desired split line.
4. SPLIT LINE ONTO FACES
This function will imprint a split line only onto the selected face(s) of a body. The resulting
edges are managed as Split Line edges, and therefore visible in the split line tree.
This command allows the user to create a split line on specific faces of a solid, avoiding
the calculation on the complete body.
5. ISOCLINE CURVES ONTO FACES
This function will imprint isocline curves only onto the selected face(s) of a body using a
user definable angle. The edges produced are managed as Split Line edges, and therefore
visible in the split line tree.
6. IMPRINT ELEMENTS ONTO FACES
This function will imprint wireframe elements only onto the selected face(s) of a body. The
edges produced are managed as Split Line edges, and therefore visible in the split line
tree.
7. IMPRINT SHADOW
This function will produce the silhouette edges on the body calculated from a selected
direction (e.g.X,Y,Z, or by element). The silhouette produced corresponds to the outer
visible boundary of the body from the defined viewpoint (similar to the result produced by a
plan view of the solid in the Plot View). The imprinted edges are managed as Split Line
edges, and therefore visible in the split line tree.
This function is very powerful because if the solid does not contain undercuts, the resultant
silhouette curve will produce the ideal curve for the splitting of the component.
Note that this function may generate some unnecessary edges, especially in cases where
a part has some undercuts. For this reason it is possible to refine the results generated by
the Imprint shadows with the Search Silhouette function.
