Strategy: Working with Partial Shell Meshes
Use these strategies to help you create a partial shell mesh.
• To select the
Paired Only option automatically, set the
fem_ignore_unpaired configuration option to yes.
• To have the system remove the unopposed surfaces by default, set the
fem_remove_unopposed configuration option to yes. If you set this configuration option, the software turns off the
UseUnopposed option and removes the unopposed surfaces during shell mesh creation.
• When Creo Simulate shell-meshes the model, it places the mesh on the midsurface, using the shape of the red side to determine the shape of the midsurface. When you work with a partially compressed model, flipping pairs might produce a different shell mesh if geometries of paired surfaces are not equivalent.
