When to use?
• To merge together a number of small (connected) faces/edges
• To simplify small features in the model
• To simplify load abstraction for mechanical analysis
• To create edge splits for better control of the surface mesh control New in AM

• Virtual cell modifies the topology
– Original CAD model remains unchanged Without VT With VT
– New faceted geometry is created with
