Right-click commands for laminate inflation nodes

Different commands are available depending on which node you right-click in the Simulation Navigator.

Laminate inflation node commands

The following commands appear when you right-click the Laminate Inflation node in the Simulation Navigator.

Icon	Command name	Description
	Extrude Laminate	Extrudes a 2D laminate over a 2D mesh.
	Fill Laminate	Fills the space between two 2D dependent meshes by inflating a 2D laminate.

Extrude and fill setup node commands

The following commands appear when you right-click Extrude Setup # and Fill Setup # nodes in the Simulation Navigator.

Note:

For extrude and fill setups that were created in pre-NX 8.5 releases, the Update and Edit commands are not available. The Delete command deletes only the setup node, and does not delete the meshes or the solid laminate physical properties.

Icon	Command name	Description
	Update	Updates the selected laminate inflation setup. The red update icon in front of the node indicates that you should update the setup.When you update the setup, the inflation:Recreates the 3D meshes.Recalculates the zonesReuses the existing solid laminate physical property, thus keeping any modifications you made to it.
