Skeleton Modeling

Categorize Tool Improvements

DFEM panels now only contain shell elements in the output set.

You can now remove elements from the DFEM panel set which are already contained in the DFEM hardpoint element set.

You can now include solid elements which are part of a casting.

The defaults have been updated for patch, volume, and size.

For hardpoints and glazings, the FREEZE contact is now included in addition to TIE contact.

Glazing categorize logic has been improved.

The time to categorize castings has been significantly reduced.

Section Management: Autoweld

Support has been added for connecting internal extrusion cells to outer shell parts.

The logic has been improved to ensure each internal extrusion cell connects to the shell when nearby.

The max gap factor has been increased for regular welds from 1.6 to 2.5 to resolve missing weld issues.

Principal axis estimation has been implemented to align internal extrusion connections properly.

The creation of welds that intersect with shell parts has been prevented.

Internal extrusion detection now only triggers for sketches with five or more parts to avoid unnecessary processing.
