Description

Creates a new model obtained by folding of the model given as argument.

Syntaxes

fmodel = FOLD( model, plan, line, el_size, gap_mini, tan_alpha ) ;

fmodel

 The name of the folded model.

model

 The name of the model object to be folded.

plan

 The mean plane of the model to be folded.

line

 The folding line.

el_size

 The minimum element size.

gap_mini

 The minimum gap between folded surfaces.

tan_alpha

 The maximum slope of inclined surfaces created around the fold line.

fmodel = FOLD( model, line, el_size, gap_mini, tan_alpha ) ;

model

 The name of the model object to be folded.

line

 The folding line.

el_size

 The minimum element size.

gap_mini

 The minimum gap between folded surfaces.

tan_alpha

 The maximum slope of inclined surfaces created around the fold line.

Comments

The operation of folding is quite complex. See the Airbag Folder Theoretical Manual for the detailed description of the algorithm and the meaning of the parameters. If the FOLD operator is called with the second syntax, the airbag's plane is computed automatically.
