INTRODUCTION
The extract operation is closely tied to part representations. Extract creates a single new part using only the
geometry of the current representation of the selected part(s). For example, if the current representation of a part
consisting of 3D elements is Border, the result of extraction will be a part consisting of all unshared 2D elements (the
surface).
Extract is most often used to reduce the amount of information for a part (e.g. for faster display or for geometry
output) or to create a surface shell part – perhaps for subsequent cutting – of a 3D computational domain.
BASIC OPERATION
1. Select the desired part(s) in the Parts List.
The new part is added to the end of the Parts List with the description “Extract of parts #,#,#” where # are the part
numbers of the originally selected parts.
