Altair EmployeeOverview
Align surfaces to a base surface and equivilances edges according to global cleanup tolerance. If the model contains thickness information, the z-offset on the property is updated. The surface normals need to point outwards for correct calculation of z-offset.
Usage/Installation Instructions
1) Select one surface that defines the baseline
2) Select surfaces of one plate to align to the base surface
3) continue with other plates, no selection to quit
Limitation
Property update only supported for OptiStruct and Abaqus. For other solvers, propertys are not modified.
