Create layer stacks

When you create a Multi-Layer Shell-Non-Uniform physical property table, the Stack Layers option lets you specify the layer stack. A layer stack defines which Layer type modeling objects comprise a Multi-Layer Shell-Non-Uniform physical property table.

The stack also defines the order of the layers from top to bottom. You must create at least one layer before you can complete the definition of a layer stack. After creating a layer stack and assigning it to a Multi-Layer Shell-Non-Uniform physical property table, you can modify it by modifying the associated physical property from the Physical Property Tables Manager dialog box.

Create a layer stack

  1. In the Multi-Layer Shell Non-Uniform physical property table dialog box, click Stack Layers.

  2. (Optional) Create a layer.See Create a layer for more information.

  3. In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, select a layer from the Selection list.

  4. Click Add to List. The layer appears in the List box.

  5. Continue to select and add layers as needed to build the layer stack.

  6. (Optional) To modify the order of the selected layers:Click Move Up or Move Down to change the sequence of the layers.Click Remove to remove the layer from the List box. (This does not delete the selected Layer modeling object.)Note: You can also use the Copy, Delete, or Modify commands on selected layers.

  7. Click Close when you finish creating the layer stack.

  8. Click OK in the Multi-Layer Shell Non-Uniform dialog box.
