Datum geometry Datum geometry is used to help create the part and partition it into regions. Datum coordinate systems, datum axes, datum points, and datum planes can be all created in a variety of ways. The various types of datum geometry can optionally be removed from the display. A part can be partitioned into different regions. The regions are useful for applying property assignments, loads, and boundary conditions.
Partitions are also useful for meshing purposes.
Edges, faces, and solids can all be partitioned in a variety of ways. Sketches can consist of points, lines, arcs, circles, and splines, each of which can be created in a variety of ways. Entities can be copied, translated, and rotated. Fillets can be defined between curves. Construction lines and circles can be used to help create the sketch.
