-
From the Model section of the action bar,
click Elastic Layer
 and select a layer group.
-
Alternatively, double-click a layer in the tree, or select a layer and click Elastic Layer.
Edition mode is started. Operation mode is the same as for
the creation, except that the dialog box is filled with the values of the current
layer.
- Optional:
Replace the default name with a more significant one.
-
Define the contour.
- Either create a sketch positioned on the defined plane, with the origin and u,v
direction retrieved from the stacking definition. It represents the layer boundary.
For more information on working with the Sketcher, see 3D Modeling Core: Sketcher.
- Or create a pattern from a predefined empty sketch. You can add geometry. The
geometry is aggregated under the layer, inside a dedicated node.
For more information on creating patterns, see Patterning.
- Or create a symmetry.
-
Click
 to select a material.
-
If the layer does not share the same machine or cross direction as the stacking,
- Press Rotate: +90deg. Both directions are rotated.
- Or select Invert machine direction. Only the machine
direction is inverted.
-
From the color editor, pick the color to display the layer.
-
Enter the Elasticity ratio.
-
Select a Length inside the constraints node of the sketch.
This Length is added to the layer parameters. The parameter is linked to the
Length constraint to expose the parameters driving the geometry. The name of the parameter
is that of the constraint.
-
Optional: Select the Hide all except this layer
check box.
-
Validate.
- The last geometry of the geometry set node is analyzed. As many layer domains as
existing layer geometries are created.
- An Elastic Layer node is added to the tree. It contains
