Creating an Extrusion

Use Extrusion to pull the fibers of a layer through another layer, and create a fleecy surface. As with the mechanical bond, the extrusion process links the layers together.

  1. Optional: Replace the default name Extrusion.n with a more significant one.
  2. Define the Area by a sketch or a symmetry.
  3. Define the Geometries to extrude.
    • Either create a sketch.
    • Or create a pattern from a predefined empty sketch. The geometry is aggregated under the layer, inside a dedicated node.
    • Layer
    • Or create a symmetry.
  4. Select a layer or an elastic layer as the Pulled Layer.
  5. Select a layer or an elastic layer as the Last Perforated Layer.

    The extrusion is created with the color of the Pulled Layer

  6. If you have selected the same layer as Pulled Layer and Last Perforated Layer, specify the direction as Ascending or Descending.
  7. Specify the Extrusion height.
