CHECK WARPAGE

This function allows the user to check the warpage for quadrilateral elements. The user has the option to split the quadrilateral elements into two triangular elements. All elements that fail may be added to a new part.

1. Enter warpage criteria (default is 5.0 degrees).

2. If there are any failed elements, a DYNAFORM Question appears. See Figure 6.6.5.
