Hi,
I'm working through the process of learning EMPro and creating some completely parameterized planar and 3-D structures.
One problem I've run into is with zero-sized objects. I like to be able to test the effect of features; so I can take a dimension and multiply it by a constant (1 or 0)...
Now in some cases EMPro takes issue with the fact that I have an object that has zero volume.
In cases where the objects overlap with other objects I can envision work-arounds that leave some volume present but completely remove the feature in a practical sense, but I'm just wondering if there are any tricks for boolean enable/disable of objects based on the state of parameter values.
Thanks!
Lance

Unfortunately you can't do enable or disable objects with the boolean like command. However in EMPro, you can easily enable or disable objects to include or exclude them in the mesh (or simulations). Simply select the object(s) and use Grid/Meshing/Include or Exclude in Mesh command. In this case, you don't have to remove or delete the objects in the design.
Thanks.
