Load Extrusion dialog box

This dialog box lets you extrude loads and 2D element edges from a Model and Load Pre-processing input file. The software also scales the load as follows:

{F_{layer}} = {F_{external}} * Total,Distance \div (Number,of,Copies + 1)

where:

• {F_{layer}} is the force on each layer in the extruded mesh.

• {F_{external}} is the force from the external file.

• Total,Distance is the total distance of the extruded mesh.

• Number,of,Copies is the number of copies of the original element layer.

****
Operation Name	Sets the name of the load extrusion node in the Simulation Navigator.
Select Region to Extrude
Select Region	Lets you select the element faces to extrude.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Number of Copies	Lets you specify how many copies of the original element layer the software should create for the extruded mesh.
Distance	Controls how you specify the distance to extrude the edges of the element faces.Per CopySpecifies the distance between each element layer of the extruded mesh.Total****Specifies the total distance of the extruded mesh.
