This function allows the user to check the minimum
values of the interior angles for shell and solid elements. eta/DYNAFORM checks
and highlights any elements with interior angles that are less than the defined
criteria. The user has an option to adjust the default criteria accordingly.
1.
Enter
the interior angle in the displayed dialog box (DEFAULT = 1º). If the elements
pass the interior angle check, eta/DYNAFORM prints the following message and
goes back to the Model Check menu:
ALL ELEMENTS PASS
CHECK!
If some elements do not pass the check, eta/DYNAFORM prints the following message with an option to create a new part.
xxxx ELEMENTS FAILED
CHECK

Part dialog box is displayed to enable generation of new part. If Delete is
selected, all failed elements are deleted. The Cancel option dismisses the
operation.
