Creating a Butt Splice Zone

Butt Splice Zone defines zones, where the splicing of plies is performed without overlapping because of a structure element positioning, for example.

  1. Select the surface on which the zones are created.
  2. Define the contour of the Butt Splice Zone.
  3. Select the Elements to which the zone applies (stacking, plies groups, sequences, plies).
  4. Optional: Set a Gap size between spliced cut-pieces.
  5. The butt splice gap is created by creating a parallel to the splicing curve. Choose the Gap parallel type.
