The Non-Design Space Tool entails two methods to define Non-Design Spaces:
The direct method Direct Method: already Already existing cells can directly be directly selected as Non-Design Spaces.
If multiple solids are imported, they can be merged to one solid including several cells with the boolean merge operation. ThereforeThese cells can be created with geometry tools like Split Tool or with a Boolean merge operation if multiple solids already exist. When using the Boolean merge operation, the “merge solids as cells” option hat has to be selected activated in order to create the cells in one solid. These cells can then be selected as Non-Design Spaces with the direct method Direct Method in the Non-Design Space Tool.
The Offset methodMethod: Using the a split method a the Non-Design Space volume can be created with a defined offset value. This way an offset volume from a selected surface is created. The split method offset surface always cuts through the whole volume unless enclosing surfaces are selected.
