A fully featured geometric modeler provides the input to the analysis, with an easy-to-use interface for defining the geometry and associated properties of the model.

The Modeler allows complex models to be created by performing Boolean operations on simple primitives (sphere, torus, block, prism/pyramid and cylinder/cone). Faces can be swept to create new bodies, and a special Background region can be included to represent the surrounding air. The resulting model is meshed automatically using tetrahedra.

Key features include:

• Accurate and fast ACIS Geometric modeling
• Boolean operations with geometric volumes
• Sweeping, lofting, blending and chamfering
• De-featuring and healing capabilities
• CAD import and export facilities
• Advanced functional transformations for more complex shaped components
• Fast and reliable tetrahedral Delaunay volume mesh generator
• Advanced scripting facilities to automate model building
