Flexible components (m_bFlexCompUseGenericIfNoTess):

In Creo, a flexible is a part that can has several states, with a variation of dimension, tolerances or material. For a example, a spring can be represented as a flexible component.

Model saved in Creo

The tessellation is stored in the Creo file

The tessellation is NOT stored in the Creo file

m_bFlexCompUseGenericIfNoTess is true

The tessellation is NOT stored in the Creo file

m_bFlexCompUseGenericIfNoTess is false

Boolean operations (m_bBoolOpUseGenericIfNoTess):

In CAD software, boolean operations are a way to define geometrical elements by performing unions or ,intersections or difference of 2 or more sub-elements.

For example, here is the result of a boolean intersection between a cube and a sphere:

...

  • For older versions, only the tessellation generated by Creo will be loaded if available

  • If no tessellation is available, the setting m_bBoolOpUseGenericIfNoTess adapts HOOPS Exchange behavior

    • If the value is set to true a generic representation is loaded. It usually corresponds to the edited part without any of the boolean operation

    • If the value is set to false , no representation is loaded. The component won’t be displayed.
