Morph Revolved Mesh dialog box
| Elements | |
|---|---|
| Select Elements | Lets you select the elements that you want to morph. |
| Element Labels | Lets you add elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the element labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add element labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection . |
| Axis of Revolution | |
| Specify Vector | Lets you specify a vector that defines the axis about which to revolve the elements. |
| Reverse Direction | Lets you reverse the vector's direction. |
| Select Point | Lets you select the point about which to revolve the elements. |
| Source Target Selection | |
| Source Nodes | Lets you select the nodes to map to the target curve or curves. |
| Node Labels | Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection . |
| Define Target Curve | Lets you select the curve or edge to map the source nodes to.Edge/CurveLets you select an existing edge or curve. You can also select a series of edges or curves.**Line (2 Points)**Lets you define a new edge or curve by specifying two points. The software associates the selected nodes to this curve or edge and moves the node onto the curve or edge during morphing. |
| Fixed Nodes | Lets you specify nodes that define the radius of a region within the part that you do not want to move during the morphing process. |
| Node Labels | Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection . |
| Node to Point Mapping | |
| Select Node | Lets you map selected nodes to points on the target curve. The software uses temporary graphics to indicate the correspondence between a node and a point. |
| Node Label | Lets you specify the node by entering the label of the node.Press enter or click Select to add your entry.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection . |
| Specify Point | Lets you select the point to map a node to. The software associates the node to this point and moves the node to the point's location during morphing. |
| Mapping List | |
| Mapping List | Displays all current mappings.Click Move Up or Move Down to change the order of the mappings in the list.Click Delete Mapping to delete a selected mapping. |
| Preview | |
| Show Result | Previews the morphed mesh based on your current selections. |
