Drape Estimator orientation

Altair Forum User

Hi,

I have a question regarding HyperMesh Drape Estimator: If I run the Drape Estimator on a specific ply it shows how the fiber orientation becomes different from the original orientation (which I specified earlier). How can I use the estimated fiber orientation for later analyses instead of the original one? Does HyperMesh uses this new orientation from now on or do I need to request it somewhere?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @s3b1k3

 

You can Select a drape table to associate with the ply. While creating/editing the ply you can select the drape table.
