Replacement for Simplify to turn models inside-out?
Replacement for Simplify to turn models inside-out?
(OP)
Hello. We've just upgraded from NX4 to NX6 and I see the Simplify command has vanished.
I used to use Simplify quite a lot to prepare models for CFD analysis, starting with a model of a component and generating a model of the airspace inside the component.
Suppose I had a hollow part, like a bottle. I could use Simplify to remove all the faces on the outside, keep all the faces on the inside and specify one face to close up the "neck" of the bottle. The output of the command would be a solid in the shape of the air inside the bottle.
I cannot figure out how to do this with the new "Synchronous Modeling" commands. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
