Import Fibersim Zones

Use the Import Fibersim Zones command to import the zones from a Fibersim HDF5 file onto selected polygon faces or 2D elements. The zones must point to a laminate that is associated to the same part geometry that is meshed in this software.

When you import Fibersim zones, the software creates:

• One mesh and one mesh collector for each zone.

• One laminate physical property for each Fibersim laminate specification.

• One material table for each Fibersim material specification, if you request it.

• Curves that represent the zone boundaries, if you request this.

Each mesh collector points to one of the created laminate physical properties. The software moves elements from the existing mesh into the newly created meshes. The existing mesh is empty after the import.

In the Import Zones dialog box, you can specify if you want to overwrite existing materials, laminate physical properties, or mesh collectors.
