Facet Tools (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
Direct editing and repair of STL and mesh files.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, Facet Tools represents a core architectural mechanism. A specialized editor designed to hollow, shell, split, and repair organic mesh files without converting them to solids.
Why it matters
Mastering Facet Tools is critical for production-grade deliverables. Essential for additive manufacturing, allowing designers to prepare watertight files for 3D printing in seconds.
Common pitfalls
- Attempting to boolean-intersect dense meshes with B-Rep solids, causing command failures.
- Ignoring open mesh seams.
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.
