Replacing the Surface Mesh

Copy the control_valve_mod.dbs file from the /doc/tutorials/controlValve directory to your working directory. Then do the following:

Right-click on the Representations>Import node and select Replace Surface... from the pop-up menu.

In the Open dialog that appears, select the control_valve_mod.dbs file and press the Open button.

In the Database Import Options dialog, make sure that the Database ID is set to 1 and the Units are in (inches).

Press the OK button to import the modified surface.

To view the modified surface representation, do the following:

Right-click on the Scenes>Geometry Scene 1 node and select Apply Representation>Import from the pop-up menu.

As the patch definitions in the new surface were identical to the original import then the boundaries were carried over from one model to the other. Feature curves were also contained in the new surface so these do not need to be re-created. If they didn't exist then they could be created using the same process as described earlier in this tutorial. The surface is ready to be remeshed.
