This function allows the user to
design Double-Attached geometry to connect disjoint part geometry. There are
three types of part geometry listed below.
DOUBLE-ATTACHED, HALF INPUT
This function allows the user to
input one geometry, then mirror another same geometry by using Mirror Geometry function.
Selecting the Double-Attached, Half Input button activates the Symmetry
interface, as shown in Figure 7.1.45.
Figure 7.1.45 Double-Attached, Half Input
After Double-Attached is defined, Show
buttons are enabled, allowing the user to highlight the master or the slave.
Note: Define the part geometry as Double-Attached Half Input, if user click other type of part geometry ,the eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog box will pop up below.
Figure 7.1.46 eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog
box
Yes
Click the Yes button, the master will restore to the status before define as Double-Attached Half Input, without saving the double-attached tipping operations, remove the slave geometry, delete created boundary fill features, binder and addendum.
No
Click the No button to exit the dialog box with no operation.
DOUBLE-ATTACHED, FULL INPUT
This function allows the user to input two part geometries with the
same outlines and different interior features. These
two outlines must be in relative symmetrical positions without overlap in order
for the function to work. Once this
button is selected, the Symmetry options are disabled, and Select buttons for Master
and Slave are activated, as shown in Figure 7.1.47.
Figure 7.1.47 Double-Attached, Full Input
After Double-Attached is defined, the parts of the master and the slave
are automatically added to Master and Slave Part list.
Note: Define the part geometry as Double-Attached Full Input, if user click other type of part geometry, the eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog box will pop up below.

box
Yes
Click the Yes button, the master and the slave will restore to the status before define as Double-Attached Full Input, without saving the double-attached tipping operations, delete created boundary fill features, binder and addendum.
No
Click the No button to exit the dialog box with no operation.
TWO PARTS
This function allows the user to
input two different part geometries. Once this button is selected, the Symmetry
options are disabled, and Select buttons for Group1 and Group2 are activated. The
interface is similar to the one in Figure 7.1.49.
Figure 7.1.49 Two parts
After Double-Attached is defined, the parts of the Group1 and the Group2
are automatically added to Group1 and Group2 Part list.
Note: Define the part geometry as Two Parts, if user click other type of part geometry, and then perform tipping,the eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog box will pop up below.

Yes
Click the Yes button, the Group1 and the Group2 will restore to the status before define as Two Parts, without saving the double-attached tipping operations, delete created boundary fill features, binder and addendum.
No
Click the No button to exit the dialog box with no operation.
