What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo Parametric you can apply Flexible Modeling to multibody parts to support the following:
• More efficient and flexible part design workflows
• Fast late-stage design changes on single and multibody parts
• Design changes on imported single and multibody part
Flexible Modeling enriches the design capabilities related to geometric modification and manipulation of bodies in many ways.
You can use Move, Offset, Edit Round, Edit Chamfer and recognition tools such as for the recognition of rounds, chamfers, and patterns on selected geometry from one or multiple bodies. In cases where the geometric references originate from different bodies, the resulting geometry is calculated and attached to the respective originating body. This per body calculation also applies to tangency control and multiple solution options.
The Flexible Modeling tools Remove, Mirror, and Pattern support reference selection from a single body only. However, you can use pattern and symmetry propagation methods in supporting features to propagate changes to pattern and symmetry members across different bodies. In addition, you can perform searches within all or selected quilts and bodies from the Geometry Search Tool.
