POP LINE
This function enables user to define the POP line for the eta/POST. If defined, the line information is output to the index file.
NOTE: This function is especially for eta/Post. When eta/Post opens the result file (D3plot), it will also import the related idx file. Then the POP line information will be read by eta/Post.
The user can click on the POP line button to display the POP line dialog box as illustrated in Figure 13.1.5.

SELECT POP LINE
This function enables user to define the POP line through selecting the existing one or multiple lines in current database. The SELECT LINE dialog box is displayed after the user clicked this button. Each time the user enters the POP line dialog box, the defined POP line is highlighted on screen.
CREATE POP LINE
This function enables user to create the POP line from the Addendum defined in eta/DYNAFORM. Prior to using this function, the user has to create the addendum in eta/DYNAFORM. This function is similar with the function CREATE PO LINE described in Section 6.3.5.
EDIT POP LINE
This function enables user to edit the defined POP line. After selecting this button, the Curve Edit dialog box is displayed. The user can edit the highlighted POP line. Please refer to the Section 6.2.1 for more details.
DELETE POP LINE
This function enables user to remove the selected POP line. After selecting this button, eta/DYNAFORM prompts the user to select the highlighted POP line.
NOTE: The original referenced lines will not be deleted from the database.
ATTACH ON
This function enables user to select one Part from the Part list. The defined POP line will be attached on the selected Part. In eta/POST, the POP line moves together with the defined Part. We select the DIE as the Attach part.
After all the parameters of the POP line are defined, the user can click the OK button to exit the POP line dialog box. When a LS-DYNA input deck is output from eta/DYNAFORM, the POP line information is written into the idx file.
