Geometry Groups

Groups provide a powerful capability for performing operations on multiple geometric entities with minimal input. They can also serve as a means for sorting geometric entities according to various criteria. The following describes the Group operations available in CAE Fidesys:

When a group is meshed, CAE Fidesys will automatically perform an interval matching on all surfaces in the group (including surfaces that are a part of volumes or bodies in the group).

Groups in Graphics;
Propagated Hex Groups;
Quality Groups.

There are several utilities in CAE Fidesys which use groups as a means of visualizing output. These utilities are described elsewhere, but listed here for reference:

Webcut results;
Merged and unmerged entities;
Sweep groups;
Interval matching;
Disassociated Meshes;
