About Properties

To create a multi-layer mesh from Concept single layer geometry, the following steps are required:

Stacking Layers

  1. Create a Concept geometry with flange regions simplified by single layer surfaces.
  2. Define FE specifications and assign them to the Concept geometry.
  3. Generate a multi-layer mesh with FE shell elements for surfaces and with FE connection elements in the flange regions.

The FE specifications include four features:

  • Concept Material
  • Layer
  • Layer Stacking
  • Concept Connection
