Reverse Engineering (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
Direct fitting of curves and surfaces onto imported STL files.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, Reverse Engineering represents a core architectural mechanism. The capabilities that allow designers to extract precise 2D sketch profiles and B-Rep surfaces directly from raw mesh files.
Why it matters
Mastering Reverse Engineering is critical for production-grade deliverables. Bridges 3D scanning and manufacturing, letting engineers reconstruct exact mechanical parts from physical scans.
Common pitfalls
- Attempting to fit clean NURBS surfaces to un-cleaned or noisy STL mesh files.
- Ignoring model scale conversions.
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.
