Electrode design

RibStrengthenTop

Reinforcement Shape:

• Rectangle: Select to create a rectangular-type reinforcement rib and activate subsequent parameters such as distance enlargement and thickness.
• Circle: Select to create a circular-type reinforcement rib and adjust the parameter configuration logic accordingly.

Distance Enlargement Method:

• Enlarge All Sides: Perform distance enlargement on all sides of the reinforcement rib.
• Enlarge Both Sides: Perform distance enlargement on both sides of the reinforcement rib.
• Enlarge Single Side: Perform distance enlargement on one side of the reinforcement rib.
• Enlargement Distance: Set the specific value for the distance enlargement of the reinforcement rib.
• Fillet: When checked, the "fillet" function is enabled, and the fillet radius can be set in the input box on the right; when not checked, the edge of the reinforcement rib is right-angled.
• Offset Distance: Set the offset position parameter of the reinforcement rib.
• Thickness: Set the thickness parameter of the reinforcement rib itself.

RibStrengthenSide

Reinforcement Shape:

• Rectangle: Select to create a rectangular-type rib reinforcement, and activate the input for parameters "Length (L)" and "Width (W)" simultaneously.
• Circle: Select to create a circular-type rib reinforcement; the "Length (L)" and "Width (W)" parameters will be automatically hidden, and the input for "Diameter (D)" will be activated.

Reinforcement Dimensions:

• Length (L): Set the length parameter of the rib reinforcement itself.
• Width (W): Set the width parameter of the rib reinforcement itself.
• Diameter (D): Set the diameter parameter of the rib reinforcement itself.
• Extension Offset: Set the extension offset parameter of the rib reinforcement.
• Draft Angle: Set the draft angle parameter of the rib reinforcement.
• Radii on Both Sides: Set the parameters for the radii on both sides of the rib reinforcement.
• Fillet: When checked, the "Fillet" function is enabled, and the fillet radius can be set in the input box on the right; when not checked, the edges of the rib reinforcement are right-angled.
• Auto-Extend at Radius Positions: When checked, the radius positions of the rib reinforcement will be automatically extended.

SplitBodyPoint

• Create a division plane by specifying a point and the Z-axis direction of the current WCS (Work Coordinate System), and use this plane to divide the selected body

SplitBodyThreePoints

• Create a division plane by three points specified by the user, and use this plane to divide the selected body

SplitBodyFaceOrPlane

• Use the selected face (plane, cylindrical surface, conical surface) as a division tool to divide the body to which the face belongs

• Example: Cylindrical Surface

• Example: Planar Surface

OnlyLineSplitBody

• Create an extrusion feature by the line drawn by the user, and use this extruded body to divide the selected body

RectangleSplitBody

• Create an extrusion feature by the rectangle drawn by the user, and use this extruded body to divide the selected body

FlattenCurveFace

• Allow the user to select one or more surfaces, automatically extract the boundary curves of these surfaces, project them along the Z-axis direction of the current work coordinate system onto a plane associated with WCS, and finally generate a flattened curve

ReplaceFlatFace

• Replace the irregular surface on the product with a flat plane to simplify subsequent processing or assembly

AvoidingBottomHole

• Create a clearance groove with a specified depth at the bottom of the hole structure to avoid interference between the machining tool and the hole bottom, or reserve assembly clearance

ElectctrodeCheckResult2DToJvMms

• Rotation: Set the rotation angle
• Translation: Set the translation distance
• Preview: View the effect
• Copy: Copy the entity to generate a new entity; delete the original entity and replace it with the new entity
