About Representation Simplification

DMU Optimizer lets you simplify a geometric representation with the following functionalities:

  • Silhouette: keeps only the external representation of a model.
    The result obtained is as precise as the initial geometric representation.

  • Wrapping: provides a simplified external representation of a geometry through an additional tessellation computation.
    Depending on the computation parameters selected, the result obtained can be very "light" (but less accurate) or more precise (but "heavier").
  • Simplification: provides a simplified representation of a geometry through an additional tessellation computation.
These three powerful functionalities allow the user to improve his productivity at any stage of the digital mockup review by significantly reducing the size of the mockups.

They also offer an easy solution to protect confidential information by replacing accurate models with their simplified representation.

The following examples aim at illustrating the gain obtained with these functionalities:
 

Initial geometry

19348 triangles

Simplification

Accuracy= 0.5mm
Result= 7708 triangles

Note:  the simplification result contains the inner parts of the mobile phone, therefore the number of triangles is higher than it is in the silhouette result.

 
This simple example shows you how triangles are significantly reduced during simplification operation
