Tool Bar
consists of a series of icons. The user can click the icon button to
pre-process the original model (e.g. import model, control part, mesh and split
scrap) to provide model data for the next simulation setup.
IMPORT
Import
CAD data or model data. Refer to Section 3.6 for a detailed description.
SAVE
Save the
current database to the local database file.
DELETE
Delete
the current setup. Clicking this button, the system will automatically delete
all the simulation setup and exit the scrap simulation program.
PART
Enable the
user to create a new part, edit part, add data to part, operate current part, separate
part, and operate transparency, which include all the operations of parts. Refer
to Chapter four for a detailed description. The interface is illustrated in Figure 11.2.2.

Toggle
on/off part. Refer to Section 4.5 for a detailed description.
Add data to part
Move
lines, surfaces or elements from one part to another. Refer to Section 4.4 for a detailed description.
Separate part
Separate
parts which have common nodes. Refer to Section 4.7 for a detailed description.
Summary
Summarize
geometry information, material information and element property of the selected
parts. Refer to Section 4.9 for a detailed description.
Show
option is used to control the displayed layers, including ALL, ALL ON, ALL OFF,
ALL IN USE and ALL NO USE.
ALL:List all the layers.
ALL ON: List
all the displayed layers.
ALL OFF: List
all the closed layers.
ALL IN USE: List
all the layers containing object.
ALL NO USE: List
all the layers that do not contain object.
MESH
This
function allows the user to use the Mesh dialog box. Create auto-mesh on the
selected surface in order to perform part mesh and tool mesh on each part.
Refer to Section 5.3.4 for a detailed description.
MODEL CHECK/REPAIR
This
function provides an easy way to check model and repair model mesh. It can
improve the mesh quality and simplify the calculation during the simulation
process. Refer to Section 5.5 for a detailed description.
TRIM
This
function allows the user to use one or multiple closed or open trim line to
trim element. Refer to Section 5.3.10 for a detailed description.
LANCING
This
function allows the user to lance the selected element along one or multiple
given paths. Refer to Section 5.3.11 for a detailed description.
LINE
This
function allows the user to construct a line. Refer to Section 5.1 for a detailed description.
SURFACE
This
function allows the user to create or modify surface in eta/DYNAFORM. Refer to
Section 5.2 for a detailed description.
ELEMENT
This
function allows the user to create, edit, and delete the element. Refer to
Section 5.3 for a detailed description.
NODE
This
function allows the user to create node, change node position and delete free
node. Refer to Section 5.4 for a detailed description.
