Reduce Command

The reduce command prepares a bolt for analysis by quickly breaking down its geometry into its simplest form and applying boundary conditions. The different options allow the bolt to be simplified, decomposed into its component parts, overlap removed and fitted to surrounding geometry, imprinted and merged with surrounding geometry, meshed with a qtri scheme on the plug volume, and more. The full command syntax for the command is:

reduce {volume} [fit_volume] [webcut [{head|shank|both}]] [imprint] [merge][qtri] [increment_block_ids] [summary] [diameter ] [group_id{|default}] [group_name {|default}] [head_block_id{|default}] [head_block_name {|default}] [shank_block_id{|default}][shank_block_name {|default}] [plug_block_id{|default}] [plug_block_name {|default}] [bolt_block_id{|default}] [bolt_block_name {|default}]
