Question
Dividing Surface in Creo 7.0 for FEM Mesh Import to SimLab
I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.8.0
I'm working with Creo Parametric 7.0 and preparing a model for FEM meshing in Altair SimLab. I need to divide a surface on the model to isolate a specific region for mesh control. In Creo 9.0, I know there's a "Divide Surface" feature that makes this easy, but it's not available in version 7.0.
I’ve tried using the Split Surface tool, but it doesn’t allow me to sketch and limit the division to a specific area. What I need is a way to sketch a region on an existing surface and divide it so that SimLab can recognize it as a separate surface during import.
In CATIA, I would use the "Sew Surface" function to achieve this, and SimLab would correctly identify the separated surface. Is there a workaround or alternative method in Creo 7.0 to achieve similar functionality?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
