Create a Roll Fold
-
From the Airbag Solutions ribbon, click the
Roll tool.
-
On the guide bar, click .
- Tool Type: Select the tool around which the airbag will be rolled. This can be either a flat strip (width) or a cylinder (diameter).
- Number of rotations: The computation stops once this number is reached or a stopping position is reached.
- The checkboxes allow you to define some boundary conditions. In most cases, you will want to keep the default of the activated checkboxes.
- Create Symmetric Folding: Create a symmetric roll fold. After the component selection a microdialog opens to create the symmetry plane. Click Create in the microdialog. Two fold lines representing rolling tools are created, one initial and one symmetric.
- Folds Directory: The location where the results of the run are written.
- On the guide bar, click Components.
- Select the airbag components.
- Set advanced selections as necessary by clicking on the guide bar.
-
On the guide bar, click Stop
Position. In the case of a symmetric fold select Stop
Position according to the initial fold line. The stopping
position for the symmetric fold line is calculated automatically.
This requests a node to be selected, and then a rigid shell plane part generates at this position, enabling the rolling to stop and the computation if reached.
- On the guide bar, click Export to export the pre-simulation model to be run.
- At the end of the pre-simulation run, click the satellite icon to load the new positions from the resulting .h3d file.
