Defining a Transition Zone

You can create a transition zone defining the geometric area of the ply drop-off between two zones.

Repeat this scenario as required to create several transition zones between two zones.

Note: This task is available in Composites Design.

  1. From the Zone Design section of the action bar, click Transition Zone .
  2. Select any zone, or a zones group created with the For Solid From Zones Creation Only option.
  3. Optional: Edit the name under Zone/Zone Group.
  4. Select or create curves (context menu) to form a closed contour.

    This contour must belong to the zone.

The feature is displayed in the tree under the Transition Zone node.

Note: The ExtrapolDist parameter that has been defined in the Zone Definition dialog box is stored under the contour or the transition zone.
