PROGRESS - Part flange unfolding | VISI 2022.0 Info Icon
This feature has been reviewed and enhanced to have a better user experience and saving time during the process. The Tangent binder option has been enhanced to preserve the faces types of the adjacent faces, as result of the flange operation. This is a big step forward in the step unfolding process: the user can now start the unfolding process from not linear bends, and then move into the linear bends unfolding, without any CAD modelling operation, because the system makes that for you. In any case the linking with the original part is preserved and so all the parts will be automatically recalculated in reference to the original part modification. Another important option has been added to set some Constraints faces on flange type; using this new option, the user can now decide to split the flange process in more steps. This can be done just selecting the faces to preserve on the selected flange part

WIRE - Change machine | VISI 2022.0

WIRE - Change machine | VISI 2022.0

When the user changes a machine model in an existing project, the system allows to update project parameter: it allows the user to change the project parameter with a new machine default, or Invalidate project operations: it allows the user to change the status of the operations to warning the user that the operation parameters are not aligned with the new machine technology

 
WIRE - Perpendicular lead in | VISI 2022.0

REVERSE - One-click surface | VISI 2022.0

REVERSE - One-click surface | VISI 2022.0

This feature has been redesigned to guarantee to achieve a good result in most of the cases. The system creates a 3D grid around the mesh, and the user can decide to draw just the grid to also create the relative surfaces. This command is very useful if you would like to have a surface result in one-click solution, and so it could be useful during a demo, or it can be used in all the complex parts, where the other approaches could be complicated to use; so, it represents an alternative solution to the standard Mesh to surface command to move from a mesh to a surface in easy way.
