In some cases a simple electrode geometry can be extracted easily. For these cases, SMARTElectrode offers a quick function. After selection of the burn-faces select Add Smart Electrode from the context menu:
The software performs the necessary steps as far as possible automatically:
| 1. | Creating a new model from template. |  |
| 2. | Copying selected surfaces. |  |
| 3. | Cutting out geometry. |  |
| 4. | Adding an offset to top surface |  |
| 5. |
Attach geometry. Connect solid with base. |
 |
| 6. |
Selecting an appropriate size from the blank list. Creating the base. |

This procedure also works with multiple selected surface sets:

- Creo-options start_model_dir and/or template_solidpart to create a new model (step 1).
- add_xy_wp_size and add_z_wp_size are offset values for the solid feature (step 3).
- finish_default_offset controls the offset in Z direction of the electrode. 0 used if not possible to create (step 4).
- default_supplier and default_type decide where to look for the list with blank sizes (step 6).
