• All Workbench Geometry Interfaces are supported in DesignModeler
– Can also import CFX-BladeGen 4.1 geometry files (*.bgd) into Design
Modeler
• Optionally choose how many ‘Blade Sets’ to import
• DM >File>Import & >File>Attach capability:
– Can Import/Attach anytime, even multiple times per model
– Can add, subtract, etc. during Import/Attach process
– Base Plane Property for orientation

• If a CAD session is currently open, this automatically imports the model
into the DesignModeler session
• File>Attach to Active CAD File
• Maintains bi-directional associativity

AGH –WEiP … Attaching to a CAD Session
• Bidirectional Refresh
– Refresh the geometry using parameter values from either the source CAD
package or
– from the CAD parameters in DesignModeler's Details View.

• File>Import External Geometry File…
– The “active” plane controls placement for
“assembly” modeling (multi-bodies).
– The details pane import operation: Add Material,
Cut Material, Imprint Faces, Add Frozen
– Does not maintain associativity

AGH
AGH –WEiP Y. Positioning Imports
• Both Import and Attach have a “Base
Plane” property.
– Specify the plane (orientation) in which
the Import or Attach model is
referenced…
– When creating a new Import or Attach
feature, the active plane is chosen as
the Base Plane by default
– Users select planes from the tree view
or Plane pull-down list prior to import
• Example:
– XY chosen for first import
– YZ plane for second import
– Operation: ‘Add material’ chosen

AGH –WEiP Z. Import Units
• Most file formats store units information in the file (automatically set on
import).
• The SAT file format must be set to the correct length unit via the import
details (Prior to Generate)
–DM then converts the model length units into
the current unit system

surfaces.
