We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Leon,

Thanks for sharing detailed information! Here are my thoughts so far:

  • We should not lock the mesh if the geometry is expected to change through the sweep.
  • If we keep the mesh unlocked, as you observe, the different sizes of results can not be combined to create a single dataset.
  • I believe one approach would be to see if we can perform some post-processing on the sweep results to be able to use the data.
  • But I believe the simplest solution would be to go for a fully scripted solution. In other words, instead of using the sweep utility, we can create for loops and sweep through the geometry and create an unstructured dataset to store the final data.

I haven't tested either of these approaches in HEAT or the DEVICE suite in general. So, let me test at least one of these and get back to you.

Regards,
Amrita
