Part Design Features Recognition\n\nFeature Recognition Panel (1/5)\nThrough the Feature Recognition dialog box, you can recreate specifications for the element to be recognized, either manually or automatically.\nManual Feature Recognition Automatic Feature Recognition\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n10\n\n\r\n
Part Design Features Recognition\n\nFeature Recognition Panel (2/5)\nManual FR allows to recognize a large range of feature types, selecting the geometry in a precise way. A. Features: a. Major basic features can be recognized: sketch-based features (pad, pocket, hole, shaft, groove), as well as dress-up features (fillet and chamfer). b. In future, other types of features will be recognizable, such as stiffeners, ribs, patterns and mirrors. Selection Type: The user can input additional information to help the objects selection, such as: a. A limiting face for the selected for the ‘Recognize up to face’ option to recognize features that are extruded using ‘Up to Face’ option. b. Neutral Element for draft recognition. Selected Objects: a. A list of the selected objects is displayed in this window. You can select as many surfaces as wanted. b. To deselect a face from the selection, click it once more on the geometry.\n\nC\n\nA\n\nB.\n\nB\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nC.\n\n11\n\n\r\n
Part Design Features Recognition\n\nFeature Recognition Panel (3/5)\nD. Boolean and Draft: You can recognize Boolean features (add/remove), in cases: a. When the initial geometry is composed of complex shapes. b. When the recognition of standard features fails. c. When the draft can be recognized by selecting faces making the draft and a neutral surface. Chain Faces option: a. Allows an automatic selection of the faces which are in contact with the selected objects. b. Especially useful in detecting holes or grooves, of faces which are not easily reachable. c. Allows to create tags on faces that are part of recognition selection using Show Labels option.\n\nD\n\nE.\n\nE\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n12\n\n\r\n
Part Design Features Recognition\n\nFeature Recognition Panel (4/5)\nThe ‘Manual’ tab has an exhaustive list of all the Features which can be recognized. These include: Pad (blind /up to next, normal direction) Pocket (blind /up to next, normal direction) Simple Holes (blind /up to Next) Countersunks Holes (blind /up to next) Counter drill Holes (blind /up to next) Counterbore Holes (blind /up to next) Tapered Holes (blind /up to next) Fillet (rolling ball, constant radius) Chamfer (length-length) Chamfer (angle-length) Shaft Groove Draft Boolean\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nAnnotations, publications and constraints are not recognized during a recognition operation. Sketches created as ‘Positioned Sketches’ are not associative. To make them associative, you need to associate them to a planar face or a plane as support.\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n13\n\n\r\n
Part Design Features Recognition\n\nFeature Recognition Panel (5/5)\nAutomatic Feature Recognition allows a simple and fast recognition, for the three most common feature types. The only input in an Automatic Feature Recognition operation is the type of features we want to recognize, among holes, fillets and chamfers. One or several types of features can be recognized in one single operation. Selecting the 3D geometry is not necessary. The recognition is made automatically.\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n14\n\n\r\n

RemoveAll will remove all elements from the list.\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n21\n\n\r\n
Part Design Features Recognition\n\nMethods and Practices (2/3)\nA. B. C. To perform a Feature Recognition on a Solid, the latter has to be the active element. Choose Define in Work Object in the contextual menu before performing a recognition. After having performed the Feature Recognition operation, the active part by default is still the initial solid, therefore the pad (the recognized feature) is not visible. To visualize the whole body correctly, it is necessary to activate the main PartBody, using Define in Work Object in its contextual Menu.\n\nC\n\nA\n\nB\n\nInstructor Notes:\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\nCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES\n\n22\n\n\r\n
