hmtoggle_arrow1greyCreating a Single Curvature Binder
1.Select the single curve subpanel.
2.Click the User Views icon viewUser-24 and set the view to either left or right.
3.Pick the locations where you want to generate one, two, or more temporary nodes.

If you select one or two nodes, a flat binder is created.  If you select three or more nodes, a ruled surface is created based on a spline passing through the nodes.

4.Toggle to select either a full or half symmetric model.

If creating a half symmetric model:

-Specify a vector with the the plane or vector collector.
-Select a base node.
-Specify the offset value to determine the amount by which the binder outline is larger than the part outline.
-Click create.
-Review the binder surface. To modify the binder, select edit, and make changes as needed.
-Click return.

If creating a full model:

-Enter the offset value.
-Click create.
-Click return.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1greyCreating a Flat Binder
1.Select the flat subpanel.
2.Click the User Views icon viewUser-24 and set the view to either left or right.
3.Pick the locations where you want to generate one or two temporary nodes.

If one node is selected, a plane surface is generated that is perpendicular and horizontal to the screen.  If two nodes are selected, a plane surface is generated perpendicular to the screen and passing through the two nodes.

4.Toggle to choose either full model or half symmetric model.

If creating a half symmetric model:

-Specify a vector with the the plane or vector collector.
-Select a base node.
-Specify the offset value.
-Click create.
-Review the binder surface. To modify the binder, select edit, and make changes as needed.
-Click return.

If creating a full model:

-Enter the offset value.
-Click create.
-Click return.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1greyEditing a Binder

Select a binder surface, and then select edit. A new panel opens with options for editing the binder:

Select binder on section and the following options appear for editing:

Option

Description

identify binder

On the model graphics, select a binder surface.

create section

Create a section by intersecting a plane defined with the binder. The resulting section lines are available for editing.

edit section

2D edit: Select this option for editing a section in a 2D plane with the Section Editor.

3D edit: Select this option to modify a 3D shape of a section. Morphing handles appear on the section for manipulating the shape.

cast section
1.On the model graphics, select the section that you want to cast.
2.On the model graphics, select the candidate section for modification.
3.Click cast.

map to section
1.On the model graphics, select sections to define the shape of the binder.
2.Click preview, review the shape of the binder, and then modify the shape as needed.
3.To confirm the shape of the binder, click accept.

 
1.On the left of the Binder panel, select part on binder.
2.Select the surface of the part that needs to coincide with the binder, and pick any nodes on the binder that do not move.
3.Click preview, review the shape of the binder, and then modify the shape as needed.
4.To confirm the shape for the binder, click accept.

 

On the left of the Binder panel, select manipulate binder. Options appear to translate, rotate or scale the binder surface.
