[Other] Change minimum size in sketch SpaceClaim

rodrigovime · September 15, 2022, 11:00

Hello everybody,
I'm making a very simple wedge like geometry in SpaceClaim but when I try to do a very short line (about 0.01 mm) it gives me the warning:
"One or more of the created curves was below the minimum size for use with sketch constraints"
And doesn't draw the line. Does anyone know how to change that minimum size for sketching, or if it is even possible to draw lines that short?
Thank you

A work around is to create a geometry 1000 times larger, mesh it and then scale it back in the solver. At least in CFX and Fluent this is possible.

Thanks, I'll try it.
