Creating Relimitations

Use Relimitation to relimit layers by adding material to redefine the boundary of the layers.. Relimitation simulates the cut of infinite ribbons to create layers. Each relimiting zone contains a relimiting wire, a direction of relimitation (Machine direction, cross direction, or both), and a direction to indicate the side to keep.

Note: Do not apply a relimitation on a layer after another transformation (Fold or Strain Transformation). This would lead to inconsistent results.

  1. Optional: Replace the default name Relimitation.n with a more significant one.
  2. Select the elements to relimit.
  3. Define the relimiting zones.
  4. For each relimiting zone
    1. Optional: Replace the default name Relimiting Zone.n with a more significant one.
    2. Select or create the relimiting element.
    3. Select the Add Material Direction from the list.
    4. Optional: Select the Extend Non Intersected Domains check box.
  5. Click the arrow to keep the other side.
