Interfaces have to be created for every functional surface - so every surface where a boundary condition is applied to. With this Tool an offset to the inside with the input “Interface Thickness”(Non“Non-Design Space ) Thickness” and an offset to the outside with the input “Machining Allowance” is created. The Offset Distance is expanding the Interface to the set value to create material on front faces.

  • Ten interfaces Interfaces are created for the force application and fixation regions. Therefore, an Interface Non-Design Space Thickness of 3 mm and a Machining Allowance of 1 mm is entered. Because not only the inner faces touching the screw but also the front and back face are supposed to contain material and have sharp, functional faces, an Offset Distance of 3 mm is entered. Now select the inner surfaces of the fixation and confirm the selection (MMB).

    Note: the Interface Offset (usually displayed in red) is not visualized due to a limitation. The correct value will be considered in the optimisation.
