Dimensional Control (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
Direct, history-free dimensions that act as parameters.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, Dimensional Control represents a core architectural mechanism. The capability to place dimensions directly on 3D geometry and use them as driving parameters to adjust sizes.
Why it matters
Mastering Dimensional Control is critical for production-grade deliverables. Provides parametric control without the overhead of feature trees, keeping files lightweight.
Common pitfalls
- Placing conflicting dimensions, causing solver deadlocks.
- Ignoring model coordinate baselines.
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.
