DRAG MESH

This function generates elements based on selected elements. One-dimensional elements will be dragged to plate elements and two-dimensional elements (plate) will be dragged to the solid element (prism).

Note: In eta/DYNAFORM, only certain types of elements can be put together in the same parts. For example, if the current part is "PART A" that contains plate (shell) elements, the user cannot create any solid elements. eta/DYNAFORM will issue a warning in the prompt window if a violation occurs.

1. ONE LINE DRAG

2. NORMAL DRAG

Note: Plate element normals should be consistent prior to the execution of NORMAL DRAG.

3. 3 OR 4 LINE DRAG
