Editing Core Samples

You can edit core samples during of after their creation. A comparing function enables you to compare the stacking with the preliminary design.

Note: This is a different edition level as when you double-click a core sample group.

  1. In the Multiple Core Samples dialog box
    • Select one or several core samples under List of Core Samples and click Edit.
    • Or double-click one core sample in the 3D area.
    • Or double-click one or several core samples in the tree under a core sample group.
    • Or right-click one or several core samples in the tree under a core sample group, and select Definition.
    The Multiple Core Samples dialog box opens.
    • Its content varies with the selection.
    • Reference Surface is the support surface selected in the main dialog box.
  2. Optional: Change the location point.

    This is impossible when several core samples are selected.

  3. Select a Reference Entity to compare the core sample thickness law with.
    • If you have created the core samples from a reference entity, this entity is proposed.
    • If you have selected several core samples with the same reference entity, its name is displayed.
    • If you have selected several core samples with several reference entities, Multiple CS selected is displayed.
  4. Optional: Under Filters click to select the impacted entities.
    1. Either select them manually.
    2. Or click in the dialog box that appears to select them with the Stacking Management.
    • If you have selected several core samples with the same filter, its name is displayed.
    • If you have selected several core samples with several filters, Multiple CS selected is displayed.

    The Filters column is updated for this line.

  5. Optional: Select the Take cut-pieces into account check-box to take them into account (if any).
  6. Optional: Select the Include non structural plies check box to take them into account (if any).
  7. Under Display Options, select the required ones.

    • Name
    • Thickness
    • Number of plies
    • Thickness Law
    • Delta.

    Note: If you change the composites parameters, the changes are not taken into account automatically. You need to edit the core samples and uncheck/check the box.

    When you start the edition:

    • The information on core samples is displayed with the current options.
    • An option is selected if all selected core samples share that option.
    • A star before an option means that several core samples have a different status for this option.
      • Select an option with a star to apply it to all selected core samples.
      • Click (that is, select and clear) an option with a star twice to remove it from all selected core samples.

    Note: Delta starts the computation of the comparison to find the delta. The core sample information is updated in the 3D area.

  8. Under Visu Mode, select the required option, that is, where the information is displayed.
    1. Add a leader.
    2. Position the label.
    3. Reset the position of the label.
    4. To put the label in the mirror position of the current one

      Note: Not available is the label has been dragged.

    When you start the edition, an option is selected if it is shared by all selected core samples. When you select one option, it is applied to all selected core samples.

  9. When available and required, select Show Core sample Results to display them.

    Alternatively, right-click one core sample in the tree under a core sample group, and select Core Sample Results.
