2D Page

The following panels are on the 2D page.

automesh	Interactively or automatically creates meshes on surfaces.
composites	Aligns the element material angle of a mesh of shell elements and allows you to review material angle and ply directions.
cones	Creates a surface or mesh for cones or cylinders.
config edit	Changes the configuration of existing elements.
detach	Detaches elements from adjoining elements.
drag	Creates a surface or mesh by dragging nodes, lines, or elements.
edit element	Builds, combines, and splits elements.
elem offset	Creates solid elements or layers of plate or shell elements based on a plate or shell element by offsetting the shell elements in a direction normal to the surface they form.
element cleanup	Improves element quality of a selected region.
elem types	Selects and changes existing element types.
HyperLaminate	Launch the HyperLaminate module (this help opens in a new window.)
line drag	Creates a surface or mesh by dragging nodes, lines, or elements along a line
order change	Changes elements from first to second order, or vise versa.
planes	Creates a planar surface or mesh bounded by planar lines.
quality index	Calculates a single value to represent the quality of the displayed shell (2D) model.
replace	Allows you to manually equivalence nodes.
ruled	Creates a surface or mesh from nodes or lines which are unconnected.
safety module	Contains the panels used for safety analysis.
skin	Creates a surface or mesh skin across a set of lines.
smooth	Improves element quality on a surface mesh.
spheres	Creates a spherical surface or mesh.
spin	Creates a surface or mesh by rotating nodes, lines, or elements about a vector.
spline	Creates a surface or mesh with lines.
split	Splits elements into pre-defined patterns.
torus	Creates a toroidal surface or mesh.
