This window lets you select the Predef you want to use for the 2D Part you are creating.
Click one of the six buttons at the top of this window to select your Predef :
Box
This predef is a box with its axes parallel to the X and Y axes.
- Origin
X and Y coordinates of the lower corner of the box.
- Box Dimensions
The dimensions of the box (DX, DY).
Circle
This predef is a circle.
- Section
The section you want to generate (Whole, Half or Quarter). This should match any symmetry planes you have defined for your model.
- Solid or Hollow
A solid or a hollow cylinder.
If you choose a hollow cylinder, you will have to specify inner and outer radii for the cylinder.
- Origin
The X and Y coordinates for the center of your circle.
- Outer Radius
The outer radius of your circle.
- Rotation
The rotation (in degrees) of your circle relative to the X-axis.
Ogive
This predef is an ogive with its axes parallel to the X and Y axes.
- Section
The section you want to generate (Whole or Half). This should match any symmetry planes you have defined for your model.
- Solid or Hollow
Choose either a solid or hollow ogive.
If you choose a hollow ogive, you will have to specify inner and outer radii for the ogive.
- Origin
The X and Y coordinates for the center of your ogive.
- End Radius
The end radius of your ogive.
- Ogive Radius
The ogive radius.
- Principal Direction
The direction of the principal axis for your ogive.
Wedge
This predef is a wedge with its lower edge lying on the X-axis. The wedge angle is automatically set by Autodyn.
This predef is useful for running 1D cylindrical or spherical symmetric problems in 2D.
- Minimum radius
The minimum radius of the wedge (this cannot be zero).
- Maximum radius
The maximum radius of the wedge.
Rhombus
This predef is a rhombus with its diagonals parallel to the X and Y axes.
- Section
The section you want to generate (Whole, Half or Quarter). This should match any symmetry planes you have defined for your model.
- Origin
The X and Y coordinates for the center of your rhombus.
- Width
The width of the rhombus.
- Height
The height of the rhombus.
Quad
- Coordinates X1, Y1
Coordinates of the first point of the quad.
- Coordinates X2, Y2
Coordinates of the second point of the quad.
- Coordinates X3, Y3
Coordinates of the third point of the quad.
- Coordinates X4, Y4
Coordinates of the fourth point of the quad.
