INTRODUCTION
EnSight provides several sophisticated tools for extracting computational surfaces from meshes. For model parts or
clipped surfaces with a defined axis of rotation (such as those created with the quadric clipping tools), the surface can
“developed” or unrolled onto a plane. All variables defined on the clip are properly interpolated onto to the developed
surface.
A clip can be developed based on curvilinear (radius, z), (theta, z), or (meridian, theta) coordinate projections. The
“seam” of the clip can be specified interactively.
A model part must have its seam, its longitudinal axis and origin defined appropriately in the Feature Detailed Editor
(developed surface settings). To do this, right click on the part, choose ‘Edit’ and then pick the developed surface
icon in the top of the window that pops up and define the entities appropriately.
BASIC OPERATION
To create a developed surface:
