Create a surface wrap body by surface wrapping all the bodies

  1. Click Surface Wrap Recipe .The Surface Wrap Recipe dialog box opens.

  2. In the graphics window, select all the bodies around which you want to create a surface wrap.

  3. In the Surface Wrap Interior/Exterior group, select Wrap around the Exterior from the surface wrap definition method list.

  4. In the Surface Wrap Resolution group, click Auto Calculate or enter a value in the Global Resolution box.

  5. (Optional) To activate the automatic refinement on your surface wrap selection, select the Use Automatic Refinement check box.

  6. Click OK.

  7. (Optional) Add or create local resolution, contact prevention, and auto refinement constraints.

  8. In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the surface wrap recipe node and choose Wrap.
