Geometry Preparation
Create, modify, and prepare model geometry as required for forming operations.
- Geometry
  Create and modify sketch curves, surfaces, and solids.
  - 2D Sketch Curves
    Create and edit a 2D sketch curve, and then extrude it to create 3D solid geometry. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
  - Surfaces and Solids
    Use the Patch, Push/Pull, Partition, and other core geometry tools to modify surfaces and solids.
- Prepare Model Geometry for Analysis
  These geometry tools are used frequently when prearing models for forming analysis, and have been placed on the Feasibility ribbon for convenience.
Feasibility Setup and Simulation
Perform Feasibility, Blank Fit, and Blank Nesting analyses.
Design Die Face
Open any part in Studio to design the die, and import the die face design into Inspire Form from Studio.
Tryout Setup and Simulation
Perform tryout analyses to validate die designs.
Simulation Results
Review forming outcomes through the Analysis Explorer.
Reference
View the glossary or frequently asked questions.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.

Geometry

Create and modify sketch curves, surfaces, and solids.

Note: Geometry tools do not work on stl mesh geometry.

2D Sketch Curves
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve, and then extrude it to create 3D solid geometry. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Surfaces and Solids
Use the Patch, Push/Pull, Partition, and other core geometry tools to modify surfaces and solids.
