Benefits and Description
With Import DataDoctor, you can:
- Group and organize geometry entities into nodes in the Geometry and Topology Structure (GTS) tree. Each node in the GTS tree represents a logical grouping of surfaces and quilts as well as procedures that combine these surfaces and quilts into organized content.
- Perform tasks such as trim, copy, and merge from the GTS tree.
- Create datums, curves, and boundary blend surfaces.
- Repair geometry problems such as gaps, slivers, and tangency issues.
- Modify imported geometry using existing and new tools and procedures.
- Featurize individual or groups of surfaces and quilts into analytical or procedural surface elements. You can quickly modify these pseudo-features.
Import DataDoctor has a streamlined user interface for more powerful and efficient data repair tools.
- With the featurization tools, you can import surfaces for conversion into modifiable components.
- The GTS tree displays surface collections in a hierarchy. From the GTS tree, you can manipulate surfaces and collections of surfaces. You can rename defined groups of surfaces for clarity.
- With these user interface improvements, you can make robust geometry changes without remodeling components. You spend less time remodeling and repairing imported data for downstream use.
