<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSurfacing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this release, Parasolid can report additional information on surfaces: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Extensions as a result of a modeling operation \u2013 based on this information, the application can choose whether to create its own extended surface instead of the one created by Parasolid<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Whether b-geometry is a helical curve or surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, more intuitive control over the shape of lofts is introduced \u2013 the shape of a lofted body can be controlled by vertex matching along guide wires<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nBlending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this release, support is extended for constant-width blends: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Re-blending of constant-width blends in face change operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Includes complex configurations, such as overflows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- constant-width blend can have a G2 cross-section<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nFaceting and rendering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Parasolid supports the generation of a mesh of polygonal planar facets to represent the faces of an accurate part, for use in visualization, rendering and simulation. Enhancements in this release include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Improved precision when faceting blends<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Output of polyline data for edges when faceting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finer application control and improved performance of faceting for embedded rod and ball lattices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Support for the visualization of standalone implicit pattern lattices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Operations on general bodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Parasolid supports the creation and editing of general bodies, that can consist of a combination of manifold, non-manifold, cellular and mixed-dimension parts, allowing to bring virtually any 3D design concept to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this release, more complex modeling operations are supported for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Regions of a general body that are locally manifold – blending, face replacement, clash repairment during face replacement and local operations on faces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cellular bodies – edge imprint, sectioning, extreme points calculation and blend identification<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cellular bodies with embedded lattices – extension of a sheet body to the target cellular body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nLattices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this release, modeling support on lattices is extended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Cellular bodies containing implicit pattern lattices\n
- \n
- Slicing and enlarging<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Calculating the mass properties and local density of the sub-topology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Embedded lattices\n
- \n
- Parasolid will return a manifold body if possible when imprinting a frame onto a region<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Containment calculation \u2013 it is possible to choose whether the points are considered to be inside the body when anywhere within a latticed region or when only inside the latticed material of the region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Modeling support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Several enhancements have been introduced to support modeling operations: C2 curves can be generated when using arc-length parameterization, boxing functionality can return axis-aligned boxes for regions and shells and applications can now control whether to check for missing geometry – useful for interoperability workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Enhancements in application support include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Multiple part files can be transmitted where the parts include instances that belong to more than one assembly and have a common part<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tracking information for sets of patterned faces and their original input faces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Python binding – still beta-test – can be used for any kind of application including ones to be made generally available<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Improvements to diagnostic \u2013 the application can use this information to resolve issues in the model data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
