Non-Design Space Tool

The Non-Design Space Tool entails two methods to define Non-Design Spaces:

1. The direct method: already existing cells can be directly selected as Non-Design Spaces.

   

   These cells can be created with geometry tools like Split or with a boolean merge operation. If multiple solids are present with the “merge solids as cells” option they can be merged to one solid including several cells. These cells can then be selected as Non-Design Spaces with the direct method in the Non-Design Space Tool.

   

2. The Offset method: Using the split method a Non-Design Space volume can be created with a defined offset value. Therefore, an offset surface from the selected surface is created. The offset surface always cuts through the whole volume unless enclosing surfaces are selected.
