Direct Modeling (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
History-free geometry editing through direct face manipulation.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, Direct Modeling represents a core architectural mechanism. SpaceClaim's core modeling paradigm that allows designers to edit 3D geometry instantly without a parametric history tree.
Why it matters
Mastering Direct Modeling is critical for production-grade deliverables. Directly prevents model rebuild failures, letting designers modify complex models from any CAD system without sketch errors.
Common pitfalls
- Neglecting to group independent parts, causing them to accidentally merge.
- Losing trace of core design intent.
This concept is a core structural element of the ANSYS SpaceClaim drafting and engineering environment developed by ANSYS. A high-speed direct 3D modeler built to prepare, clean, and simplify geometry for finite element analysis.
