The Modify Addendum panel allows you to modify parametrically the addendum geometry created in the Addendum panel.  Essentially, it provides you with highly efficient tools to change the rib parameters by either dragging at the rib ends or modifying the geometry or location of the binder.  While updating the geometry, it regenerates the geometry around the modified rib and merges it smoothly with the neighboring surfaces.

 

How do I…

expand-green-10Modify an addendum by dragging the rib ends
1.Select the drag rib end subpanel.
2.Select the rib you want to modify.
3.Select the method to modify the addendum.
•modify plus of last subsection will extend the plus tangent to the part
•modify last wall angle will change the angle of the last draw wall
4.Click get handle to obtain the handle at the rib end to drag.
5.Click move handle.
6.Select the handle on the graphics area by using the left mouse click.
7.Move it to the desired location on the binder surface.
8.Click update to pass the rib end through the handle and modify the addendum surface to pass through the modified rib section.
9.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
10.Click clear handle to removed the existing handle.
The above process may be applied to multiple ribs simultaneously.
11.Click return.

 
expand-green-10Edit the parameters of an existing rib
1.Select the edit rib params subpanel.
2.Select the rib you want to modify.
3.Click edit rib to open the Rib Editor.
4.Modify the rib parameters.
5.Click update to change the rib and modify the addendum surface to pass through the new modified section.
6.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
7.Click clear handle to remove the existing handle.
8.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
9.Click return.

 
expand-green-10Modify an existing addendum by editing the binder
1.Select the edit binder subpanel.
2.Click edit binder.
3.Modify the binder.

Numerous options are available to modify the binder by editing the cross-sections or translate and rotate.  For a detailed explanation, see the topic on the Binder panel.

4.Click return.
5.Click update to modify the addendum surface to pass through the modified binder.
6.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
7.Click return.

 
expand-green-10Cast the shape of one rib to another on an existing addendum
1.Select the cast rib subpanel.
2.Click the model rib.
3.Click the candidate rib.
4.Click cast.

This will change the candidate rib to the geometry of the model rib and also modify the addendum surface to pass through the modified rib.

5.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
6.Click return.

 
expand-green-10Copy a rib from one location to another on an existing addendum
1.Select the add rib subpanel.
2.Select the rib to copy.
3.Click on a node at which the selected rib needs to be copied.
4.Click add.
This will copy the rib and also modify the addendum surface to pass through the new rib.
5.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
6.Click return.

 
expand-green-10Delete a rib from an existing addendum
1.Select the delete rib subpanel.
2.Select the rib(s) to delete.
3.Click delete.
This will delete the rib(s) and also modify the addendum surface to pass through the existing ribs.
4.Click reject to get back to the original configuration.
5.Click return.
