In this tutorial some basic features of remeshing to create a non-manifold assembly are presented using the project BonePlate.mxp that is located in the 3-matic installation folder under folder DemoFiles.

import trimatic

#Open the project BonePlate.mxp
application_exe = trimatic.get_application_path()
application_path = os.path.dirname(application_exe)
path = application_path + "/DemoFiles/BonePlate.mxp"
trimatic.open_project(path)

# get a list of the objects that exist in the file
bone = trimatic.find_part('Bone')
plate = trimatic.find_part('Plate_MovedSurface')
screws = trimatic.find_part('Screws')
trimatic.delete(trimatic.find_part('Plate'))
plate.name = 'Plate'

# Create NMA
