FLAT BINDER

 

This function is used to create a flat binder.  As illustrated in Figure 6.2.23, two options are used to define the orientation of a flat binder.

 

DEFINE BINDER ORIENTATION

 

Refer to Section 6.2.1 for a detailed description defining binder orientation.

 

SELECT 3 NODE/POINT

 

This function enables the user to select three nodes to define binder orientation. The first two nodes are used to define the U direction of the binder surface, while the third node completes definition of the flat binder surface.

The UV line direction of binder surface can be defined by using the DEFINE BINDER ORIENTATION function.   All other functions are similar to those described in Section 6.2.1.
