BLANK MAPPING
This function is utilized to project a flat blank with refined mesh onto a deformed blank with coarser mesh. This application is useful for converting the coarse blank mesh (from gravity loading simulation) to refined blank mesh needed for binder wrap and/or drawing simulation.
If BLANK MAPPING is selected, the eta/DYNAFORM will prompt the user to select the flat blank with coarse mesh. The message is printed in the prompt message window as:
SELECT COARSE MESH FOR THE FLAT BLANKThe user selects the coarse blank mesh from the SELECT PART dialog window. The flat blank with coarse mesh is the initial blank mesh used in gravity loading simulation. After the selection of the flat blank with the coarse mesh, eta/DYNAFORM will prompt the following message:
SELECT COARSE MESH FOR THE DEFORMED BLANK
The user selects the deformed blank with coarse mesh that is yielded by gravity loading simulation. After the selection of the deformed blank with the coarse mesh from the SELECT PART dialog window, eta/DYNAFORM will prompt the following message:
SELECT FINE MESH FOR THE FLAT BLANK
The user selects the flat blank with the refined mesh. Both flat blanks share identical dimensions. eta/DYNAFORM will automatically map the refined blank mesh to the deformed blank shape. The deformed blank with finer mesh is then used for subsequent binder wrap and/or drawing simulation.
