How to create a light model

To create a light model from an existing model, you have to open it in the 3DEXPERIENCE, then switch to the Experience Models Preparation Application.

A pop-up window will appear in which you can define the name of the new model and change other options like the accuracy of the new mesh. Press the “Valid” button.

Your light model is now created. You can remove the hidden surfaces with the button “removal of hidden surface”. You can also lighten the model with the decimation option. Save the model.

That kind of model is better for a presentation so you can easily insert it on a dashboard as shown on the video.

The GeoLab is an innovation center that provides technological tools to UniLaSalle students in order to develop educational or research projects in geosciences.

The themes we are working on are the 3D modeling (micrometer crystal to kilometric field model), digital simulation, 3D printing, analog modeling, Serious Games design, bio-mimicry, virtual / augmented / mixed reality, big data, photogrammetry, etc.
