- In Stacking (Manufacturing), select a ply, a sequence, a group of plies,
cut-pieces, an edge of part or a stacking where you want to insert the swapping.
The engineering surface to be swapped is already selected under Swap. - Select the manufacturing surface with which you want to
swap the engineering surface.
- Optional: Click Invert
to reverse the draping direction and be consistent with the direction
defined in the engineering plies.
- Select the Swapping mode.
- Select a Continuity type (correction
mode for the smoothing).
- No smoothing: This is the default mode.
- Threshold: The tangency and curvature thresholds
options are taken into account.
- Point: No point discontinuity should remain.
- Tangent: No tangent discontinuity should remain.
- Curvature: No curvature discontinuity should remain.
- Set the Tangency threshold.under which the curve is smoothed.
-
Select the Curvature threshold check box and specify the
discontinuity value above which the curve is smoothed.
- Define the Maximum deviation allowed between the initial curve and the smoothed curve.
- Optional: If you have selected a stacking, a plies group or a
sequence, select the Invert stacking order check box to invert the order of plies during the swapping.
