Simplification Surface and Surface Mesh

https://youtu.be/XQ0Q6M66ToM This tutorial shows you how to transform a multi-patches surface into a clean surface. With the surface simplification functionality, you can merge patches together and obtain a proper surface. Combined with the healing feature, you fill the small gaps and connect all the patches together. To verify if the surface you can offset it to see if it is fully healed. The final step is to open the SIMULIA Structural Model Creation application, to mesh the surface and see why is it useful to clean the surface first.

In this tutorial I show you how to translate your geometries with an axis-to-axis method and then replace your geometrical elements. I showed also how to use a parameters for length between elements. For example I used geos of linear bearings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJqjJJar5J8&t=399s

In CATIA V5, graphic properties colors and materials are both used to control the visual appearance of a model. However, they have different purposes and effects. * *Graphic properties colors** are used to control the color of the lines, surfaces, and other graphical elements of a model. They can be applied to individual features or to the entire model. * *Materials** are used to control the appearance of the surfaces of a model, including their color, shininess, and transparency. They can be applied to individual features or to the entire model.
