Changes to the dimensions on the\ngeometries in a partition do not affect the geometries in other partitions. This\nallows partitions to be processed independently, improving the performance of\nsome operations. Although not all models can be partitioned, the improvements\ncan be particularly beneficial for some large models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partitioning capabilities were\npresent in the previous release but in version 56 the range of operations that\ncan take advantage of partitioning has been extended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generating Sweep Surfaces from Spline Curves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3D DCM supports a wide range of geometry types,\nincluding sweep surfaces generated from an application\u2019s parametric curves and from\n3D DCM\u2019s own internal spline definitions.
