Syntaxes

model = EXPAND(

oldmodel, number, width, thickness

) ;

model

 The airbag model.

oldmodel

 The model containing the airbag surface.

number

 The number of the surface (within oldmodel) to be expanded.

width

 The width of the border zone created close to the airbag's outline.

thickness

 The thickness of the airbag model.

Comments

The ''expansion'' means creation of the ''upper'' and ''lower'' surfaces and of the border zone joining the initial contour with these surfaces. Both the ''upper'' and ''lower'' border zones are composed of two pieces in order to avoid surfaces with holes (simply connex surfaces are easier to cut when folding).
