SMOOTH

The saved surface can be used for the following reasons:

  • Validation run.
  • Surface for remeshing and generation of validation model (Reconstruct).
  • Transfer to CAD: surface in STL or IGES format, slices in IGES or CLI format.
  • Representation of the surface in solver formats (INP, BDF, CDB).
  • Visualization of the processed optimization results in VTFX format.

Also,the surface is saved in ONF format and can be viewed and processed further.

Tosca Structure.smooth reads the names of input files and other parameters from a SIMULIA Tosca Structure parameter file. Although it is possible to set up the parameter file manually and start smoothing from the command-line, it is recommended to use the Tosca Structure.gui for setting up and executing a smooth job.
