The Pattern feature allows you to create copies of faces and bodies in three patterns:
-
Linear: a direction and offset distance is required.
-
Rectangular: two sets of directions and offsets are needed.
For face selections, each connected face set is patterned independently of other face sets. For a face pattern to succeed, the copied instance of the face set must remain coincident with the body it originated from, or be able to be easily extended to it. The new faces of the pattern must touch the topological entities that were incident to the original face set, also known as the base region. Additionally, the instances for face sets may not intersect each other or the original face set. The faces may belong to either active or frozen bodies. An example of the base region is shown below.
In this tutorial, you will learn to use Pattern/Array (Rectangular and Circular) tools using Ansys DesignModeler.

Ansys DesignModeler – Tetrakaidecahedron
A tetradecahedron is a polyhedron with 14 faces. There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a tetradecahedron, with many constructible entirely with regular polygon faces.

Ansys DesignModeler – Ansys Beta Options (Solid Extension)
By default, System Coupling’s beta features are not activated. When beta features are activated, the corresponding settings are added to the data model and are available for use.
Ansys DesignModeler – Thin/Surface
The Thin/Surface feature allows you to convert solids into thin solids or surfaces. The feature can operate on both active and frozen bodies. Typically, you will select the faces to remove, and then specify a face offset that is greater than or equal to zero (>=0).
Ansys DesignModeler – Import from SOLIDWORKS to DesignModeler
Some import types (ACIS and AutoCAD) allow you to specify the units of the imported model. Before clicking Generate, you may be able to change the model units from the Details View, depending on the type of import. Note that some model types store their units, so no Model Units property will appear when importing them.
