This function allows the user to check the warpage angle of quadrilateral elements. The user has an option to split the quadrilateral elements into two triangular elements. All elements that fail the defined criteria may be added to a new part.

1.         Enter the warpage criteria (default is 5.0º).

2.         If elements do not pass the criteria, an eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog box as illustrated in Figure 5.5.7 is displayed.

4.         The user can select any element to list its warpage angle in the message prompt window.
