Projecting External Points

This task shows you how to project external points to constrain them.

  1. Click Project External Point in the Local Specifications toolbar.

    The External Curve Point dialog box appears:

    • Support: lets you select the points you want to project.

      Multi-selection of points is available.

    • Geometry Selector button : for more details, refer to Filtering Geometries.
    • Tolerance: lets you specify the tolerance value.
    • Project on geometry: lets you project the points you selected on the geometry.
       

    The Tools Palette toolbar also appears.

  2. Select one or several geometric points as Support.

    In this particular example, select three points as shown below.

  3. Enter a Tolerance value.

  4. Click OK in the External Point Constraint dialog box.

    A Projected Point.1 object belonging to Geometry Specifications.1 appears in the specification tree under the Surface Mesh.1 mesh part.

    The selected points are now yellow-highlighted. They are constrained.

    You can launch the mesh execution.

  5. Click Mesh the Part .

  6. Click OK in the Mesh the Part dialog box.
