Updating the Solid

You can update a solid after having modified the geometry of your design.

Notes:
  • This task is available in Composites Design.
  • We strongly advise against using the standard local or global update commands to update a solid. The operating mode described below offers analyses and messages to help you improve the quality of your design and hence of the updated solid.

  1. When you have modified the geometry of the design, the solid turns red. Double-click the solid to update it.

    Important: Do not click Local Update nor Update All.

  2. Click Apply.
    The solid is analyzed. If errors are detected:
    • A message is displayed.
    • The faulty or missing ITP is highlighted in the work area.
    • A by-pass is proposed.
  3. Exit the dialog box and modify the geometry as proposed. Restart at Step1.

When no errors are detected, no messages are displayed and the solid is updated.
