Large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies that profile hundreds of thousands of cells are becoming increasingly common, overwhelming existing analysis pipelines. Here, we describe how to enhance and accelerate single-cell data analysis by summarizing the transcriptomic heterogeneity within a dataset using a small subset of cells, which we refer to as a geometric sketch. Our sketches provide more comprehensive visualization of transcriptional diversity, capture rare cell types with high sensitivity, and reveal biological cell types via clustering. Our sketch of umbilical cord blood cells uncovers a rare subpopulation of inflammatory macrophages, which we experimentally validated. The construction of our sketches is extremely fast, which enabled us to accelerate other crucial resource-intensive tasks, such as scRNA-seq data integration, while maintaining accuracy. We anticipate our algorithm will become an increasingly essential step when sharing and analyzing the rapidly growing volume of scRNA-seq data and help enable the democratization of single-cell omics.
Something else you might notice is the greyish dashed line connecting the upper left line to the upper right line. This dashed line is showing that the two solid lines are colinear. This can be helpful in more complicated sketches.
Some things you will notice about the image above is that there are a lot of coincident relations. Coincident relations are usually added by SolidWorks automatically when you begin a base point on an entity that is already in the sketch. You should also observe that coincident relations look a lot like midpoint relations, so to be sure of which is which, you can hover over the relation to get the pop-up identifier.
To create this sketch, the two center rectangles and a circle placed at the origin to the diameter of the middle arcs shown were drawn. Power trim was used to leave just the upper and lower center arcs. A quick way to fully define the four holes at the corners were to create the fillets before the holes so that the center of the holes could be placed on the center point of the fillets, resulting in automatic merging of the points.
You will notice that when the fillet tool is used, it just makes arcs and adds a lot of relations. For this reason, heavy use of the sketch fillet or chamfer tool can lead to slower running of the software. This is primary argument for why many designers choose to stay away from the sketch fillet/chamfer tool altogether and use the feature fillet/chamfer tool instead. The same also goes for linear and circular sketch patterns. The feature versions of these tools are much less taxing on the software. These are tools we will learn in future chapters.
When we create a sketch, the purpose is to then apply a feature to it to make the 2D sketch 3D. The most common feature used to make a sketch into a 3D feature is the Extruded Boss/Base command on the CommandManager.
You can apply a feature to a sketch inside the sketch environment or outside the sketch environment. When inside the sketch environment, when you have finished the sketch, switch to the features tab of the CommandManager and click on Extruded Boss/Base. When outside of the sketch environment, select the sketch you wish to extrude from the FeatureManager Design Tree (it will become highlighted) and then click on the Extruded Boss/Base tool on the CommandManager. These techniques apply to all single sketch features.
Once the Extrude tool has been activated, the property manager will open, and a yellow preview of the feature will appear (Figure 2.33). The property manager is where you will specify the depth of the extruded feature (thickness you will apply to your zero-thickness sketch). There are other options as well to help with design intent and to give you more control over your feature. We will explore these more in the next chapter.
I have a 8" x 10" part that has some curves. I traced the outline of the part on paper. Is there a SIMPLY way to import the hand sketch into Inventor .IPT so I can duplicate the sketch? If I can't do this, I am not sure how to duplicate this part in Inventor.
Hi! Did you trace the image in AutoCAD or Inventor? Have you obtained AutoCAD Raster Design? If you have lines and curves in AutoCAD, you can simply window select the lines and curves in AutoCAD and then paste it to an Inventor sketch. Does it not work for you?
Although the sketch is extruded it is a surface. The only way to extrude an open sketch as a solid is to select the thicken icon in the extrude dashboard. The orange color is a preview of what the geometry will look like and the dark blue identifies the geometry as surface geometry. As far as the error message are you creating the geometry as cunstruction geometry? There is an icon that can be selected that toggles whether the entities created are construction geometry (phantom lines) or sketch geometry (solid lines) which I don't see in your image. If you exit a sketch that just has construction geometry I don't believe you can get that geometry back. I'll try to upload some images if you don't find the options.
There is is a set feature validation tools near the end of the Sketcher toolbar to check for closed area, overlapping entities and others. Use them to make sure you're sketch is what you expect it to be.
Here we go again. How do I recover geometric entities when I get this blue color? Have I lost forever the data? This is after I hit the OK button on Sketch, tried Extrude and got a 2D sketch, then went back to Sketch and got this error message.
Geometric drawing consists of a set of processes for constructing geometric shapes and solving problems with the use of a ruler without graduation and the compass (drawing tool).[1][2] Modernly, such studies can be done with the aid of software, which simulates the strokes performed by these instruments.[3]
The accuracy and precision required of geometric drawing make it an important ally in the application of geometric concepts in significant areas of human knowledge, such as architecture, engineering, industrial design, among others.
The historical importance of rulers and compasses as instruments in solving geometric problems leads many authors to limit Geometric Drawing to the representation and solution of geometric figures in the plane.[4]
With the development of computer-aided design (CAD) programs, geometric drawing has become more important in teaching-learning processes (development of spatial faculties) than the more imprecise tracing offered by rulers and compasses, when taking into account the precision of computer systems.[5]
For 2D modeling components, or when using work planes in 3D models, you may have noticed a subtle yet significant change in how geometry can be created in the software. Using Sketch mode, along with constraints and dimensions, you can draw plane geometry and define relations between the geometric entities that you draw. Rest assured, the 2D geometry drawing functionality you have grown accustomed to is still available, but now there are features that enable efficiency like never before.
There is also new functionality that provides drawing options for geometric shapes and features that were not available to be drawn previously, like polygons, all of which maximize the efficiency with which you can compose the geometry you need.
For some geometric primitive features, such as polygons or interpolation curves, when editing the point coordinates, a red circle identifies the corresponding point in the Graphics window that you are currently editing, enabling you to see exactly which point you are moving.
A constraint is a requirement placed on geometric entities that is not associated with a value. Examples of this include requiring that two edges be perpendicular to each other or that a line be tangent to a curve. The software has many predefined constraints available for use, such as:
Conversely, a dimension is a requirement placed on geometric entities that is associated with a value. Examples of this include setting the value for the radius of an arc or the distance between two points. Parameters and expressions can also be used to define such values, which is useful when running a parametric sweep or parameter optimization (more on this later). Dimensions that are built into the COMSOL software include:
The Constraint and Dimension features can be applied a few different ways. They can be added manually by selecting the desired Constraint or Dimension button in the ribbon and then selecting the appropriate geometric entities in the Graphics window to which you want to apply the relation. It can also be done with a more automated approach by enabling the Smart Constraint mode or Smart Dimension mode. With this approach, you select the Constraints button or Dimensions button in the Sketch toolbar; start selecting geometry; and then, based on the geometric entities you select, the appropriate constraint or dimension appears with its respective icon next to your mouse and is then available for you to apply.
Additionally, constraints can also be added automatically while a sketch is edited interactively if the Use constraints and dimensions setting is turned on. For instance, dragging a vertex to coincide with another vertex in your sketch would result in a coincident constraint being automatically generated.
