Model


Various model construction functions such as trim, offset, thickness, reinforcement thickness, and lattice structure are performed at once in the model with the design curve.
 
Model
 
1

Select Mesh Model

1. Select Mesh Model 
 
Select the target mesh model.
Create an orthosis model of the various structure in the selected model.
 
2

Select Target Face

2. Select Target Face
 
 
 
 
 
Select target face(s) or reset selection(s).
※ Unselected faces are automatically trimmed and removed.
The selected area turns white color.
 
Thickness: Select the faces to create a default thickness area. The selected area turns green color.
Area Thickness: Select the faces to create a reinforcement thickness area. The selected area turns orange color.
Lattice: Select the faces to create a lattice structure. The selected area turns white color.
Unselect: Select the faces to cancel from the selected faces.
 
Reset:  Cancels the select face execution.
To run it again, you have to run the select face again.
 
※ The trim operation in the model function does not automatically re-mesh after trimming, so the trimmed edge may be uneven and occur a dimple or a spark.
※ It is recommended to run Remesh and Smooth before creating a thickness model directly from an untrimmed scan model.

Operation on the trimmed model

Set Thickness Value

3. Set Thickness Value 
 
 
Thickness: Define thickness value of the face(s) selected with ‘Thickness'.
※ Thickness defines default thickness of the orthosis.
 
※ Using the Offset menu in Edit Mesh, first offset the distance gap between the skin and the orthosis model in the target model.
 
4

Set Area Thickness Value

4. Set Area Thickness Value 
 
 
Define thickness value of the face(s) selected with 'Area Thickness'.
※. You can define the 2 area thickness to make a strength reinforcement or support force of the orthosis.
 
5

Set Lattice Diameter Value

5. Set Lattice Diameter Value 
 
 
 
The lattice structure is an Octagonal section structure.
 
Enter the circumscribed circle diameter of the lattice structure.
※ The value should be less than 100% of Thickness value.
 
Enter a lattice length to define the size of the space between lattices.
※ Lattice size is recommended to be 2 to 3 times of the lattice Dimeter.
※ Too small lattice size creates a dense lattice structure. And if it is too large, normal surface geometry may not be created.
※ For adults, the lattice size should be set to 6 or less in areas with small curvature, such as fingers, regardless of the lattice diameter.
 
6

Smooth

6. Smooth
 
Make a smooth out sharp edge.
 
※ When Area Thickness is defined, it is recommended to check Smooth before ‘Run’.
 
7

Run

 Create a new mesh model applied any input values with structures for the selected faces.
 
The thicken mesh model is created by adding subscripts such as _M0, _M1, etc. to the selected model name and displayed in the project tree.
The lattice mesh model is created by adding subscripts such as _L0, _L1, etc. to the selected model name and displayed in the project tree.
