Different load types correspond to different physical loading scenarios.
After uploading your STEP file, the face dropdown will list all detected faces.
To ensure the ML model receives inputs aligned with its training distribution,
please choose the face following these guidelines:
Use this when the bracket or part is loaded from below, such as:
Choose the face that is physically on the bottom of the part, i.e.:
💡 Tip: In most STEP files this is a face with a downward normal
(normal ≈ [0, 0, -1]).
Use this when the bracket or part is pulled backwards or outwards, such as:
Choose the face that is physically the rear/back face of the part, i.e.:
💡 Tip: Often the normal points along ±X
(normal ≈ [±1, 0, 0]).
In the 3D visualization mode dropdown, there are three modes to choose from:
Heatmap color scale:
The heatmap provides a smooth, global visualization of refinement intensity across the mesh.
