Example: Prevent Shell from Penetrating at Convex Corners
This example shows you how to create a shell feature by excluding surfaces and preventing the shell from penetrating at convex corners.
Create a shell feature as described in another example. Follow the steps below to exclude surfaces from being shelled and prevent the shell from penetrating at convex corners. The original model is shown in the following illustration.
1. Convex corner
2. Surface to remove
1. On the References tab, click the Remove surfaces collector.
2. Select the side surface (2) as the surface to remove.
3. To exclude surfaces from the shell process, on the Options tab, click the Exclude surfaces collector.
4. Select the surface to exclude in the graphics window.
1. Surface to exclude
5. On the Options tab, select Convex corners under Prevent shell from penetrating solid at.
6. Click OK. The model is shown after shelling.
