EdgeAngleTolerance

If the angle between faces is less than this value then an edge is considered to be sharp and separates distinct regions of geometry. Affects the selection of surfaces and also how the model is drawn.

Measurement: Angle

Declaration
public double EdgeAngleTolerance { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description

public bool UseRigidElementsForBoundary { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

UseSimplifiedNormalCalculationWhenDeformed

Improves performance for large FE models by not blending normals between faces when the model is deformed.

Declaration
