Removing chamfer

Post by Martin De La Hoya »

Is there a way to remove chamfers on a model using the library? It is called defeaturing in CAD?
It is useful for pre-processing in FEM, for an example.

Hi Martin

We do not have it. DGK is kind of high level, but still is a kernel. Keeping history of modifications or other metadata kind of information is the application's business, in our view. We have lots of other staff to do where we are more useful.

From the DGK point of view a chamfered solid is just another set of faces. DGK is not aware where it comes from, which is kind of geometrical semantics.

You could implement it in your application by managing backups as history and may be some metadata attached/mapped to sub-shapes.

Regards
