Ansys SpaceClaim Tutorials

Autodesk Inventor is a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling creation, and design communication.

SpaceClaim has created a plugin for Excel that allows Driving Dimensions saved into the groups panel to be transferred to Excel. This will allow users to drive parameters off each other and update the model based on this.

Use the Open command to open files created in any supported format. Use the Save As command to export parts, assemblies, drawing sheets, and 3D markups to formats read by other applications.

Use the Project tool to create edges on a solid’s face by extending the edges of another solid, surface, sketch, or note text.

The Combine Closed tool is used to make combinations of objects. You can add (or merge) objects together and you can subtract (or split) objects from each other. These actions are also known as Boolean operations.

An enclosure is a solid around a body or bodies that has a cushion around the enclosed solid(s). The enclosure can be a box, cylinder, or sphere, as shown below.

Use the Split Face tool to create an edge on a face or surface by splitting it with another face or edge. You can use the new edge to modify the face independent of previously attached geometry.

Use the Volume Extract tool in the Analysis group on the Prepare tab to create a solid based on the volume enclosed by a single body or set of bodies (including meshes).

Use the Split Body tool to split a body by one or more of its faces or edges. Then select one or more regions for deletion.

ANSYS SpaceClaim enables anyone to create, edit, or repair geometry without worrying about underlying technology. With SpaceClaim, working with 3D modeling software becomes fast, easy, flexible, and rewarding, no matter where in the workflow you need it.
