Model Simplification Settings

Model Simplification User Guide

Use the functionality available from the Settings window to define the Simplification Settings (Configuration, Simplification Level, Cylindrical or Box simplification and which elements of the models are to be removed).

Select a configuration from the list of available configurations, to add a new configuration or delete an existing one, see step 5 and 6.

Select the level of simplification for the imported model:

- Basic - Cylinder and Box simplification are applied to only small components

- Intermediate - Cylinder and Box simplification are applied to small and medium components

- Aggressive - Cylinder and Box simplification are applied to even large sized components.

Depending upon which simplification level is selected determines which elements are to be removed, their size and whether the element ‘s shape (Cylindrical or Box) will be simplified. (These settings are supplied by AVEVA as ‘out of the box’, you can modify these if required).

You can choose if the cylindrical and/or box elements of the imported model are to be simplified. Click to uncheck the relevant check box (the Cylindrical and Box simplification check boxes are checked if the Intermediate or Aggressive simplification levels are selected).

You can choose which elements of the imported model can be removed corresponding to their size. Click to uncheck the relevant check boxes and/or modify the element’s dimension.

If you want to add a new configuration, click Add, the New Configuration window is displayed, type in a name for the new configuration then click Save to save the current configuration to the simplified CAD project data. If the save process has been successful an Information window is displayed confirming this.

If required you can also delete the current configuration, click Delete a confirmation window is displayed, asking you for confirmation. Click OK to delete the currently selected configuration or click Cancel.
