Description
You can now trim the boundaries of plies and cores by specifying a value, a reference, or a contour.
Both the trim and the extend capabilities are now combined in the Trim/Extend Ply action. This enables you to easily switch between Trim and Extend actions and effectively use the three existing methods, By Offset, By Reference, and By Contour.
When using the trim by reference method, you can trim multiple plies at once using the same curve, edge, or datum plane as a reference.
Benefits
This enhancement provides more flexibility during the composite design and preparation for manufacturing, improving productivity.
