Flip Surface
|
Used to change the local axis 3
(i.e., out-of-plane direction). This will change the surface connectivity
nodes.
Note: Refer to the
spreadsheet to review the corner nodes for
surfaces.

Alignment
>
|
Align Axes on
Surfaces
|
Click to align the local axes of
all selected shells in direction of the local axes of the first selected shell.
|
Align Surface Axis 1 to
a Node
|
Click to align the local axis x of
all selected shells in direction of the selected node.
Tip: This tool is useful for
axi-symmetric models.
|
Divide
|
Opens the
Segment surfaces dialog, which is
used to divide the selected surfaces into smaller entities.
|
Merge
|
Merges two or more selected
surfaces into a single surface.
|
Create Gap
|
Opens the
Create surface gap dialog, which
is used to specify an edge gap around a selected four-node surface.
|
Fix Warped Surfaces
|
Used to realign all the nodes in a
surface to either a plane defined by three selected nodes or the plane of the
surface axis (if no nodes are selected).
