3.4.4 Sweep Method Control
If you select the Sweep method, a swept mesh is forced on “sweepable” bodies (including axis-
sweepable bodies, which are not displayed when you use the Show Sweepable Bodies feature). The
mesher will fail if a swept mesh cannot be generated on a body with a Sweep Method control.
Use the Sweep option for any of the following situations:
w A swept mesh is required.
w You want a swept mesh on a model that revolves around an axis where the source and target faces
share topology.
When you choose the Sweep option, the Details View expands to include additional settings, many of
which are unique to this option. For basic usage that involves obtaining a swept mesh, the procedure is
to apply a Method Control to one or more bodies, set Method to Sweep, and accept the default values of
the various settings.
