Creating Angle Cuts Manually

Grid Angle Cut creates angle cuts to support manufacturing constraints.

Note: This task is available in Composites Design.

  1. Pick the vertices to process.
    • Click to remove the selected vertex from the selection.
    • Click to propagate your selection to the next vertices downward.
  2. Click Next under Side to switch to the next possible result.
  3. Define the Fiber draping angle from its value or the direction of a selected element.
  4. Define the minimum tape length.

  5. Define extrapolation lengths (sufficient to cross all the plies that have an angle cut).

    Important: Pick the vertices in proper order.

  6. Under Slope, define the staggering.
