•Concept Modeling

•Creating Line Bodies

•Modifying Line Bodies

•Cross Sections

•Cross Section Alignment

•Cross Section Offset

•Surfaces From Lines

•Surfaces From Sketches

•Suface Patch

•Edge Joints

•The features in the Concept menu are used to create and modify line bodies and/or surface bodies which become FE beam or shell models.

•To begin Concept Modeling, you can either:

–Create line or surface bodies using the features in the Draw toolbox to design a 2D sketch and/or generate a 3D model

–Use the Import external geometry file feature

•Line bodies can be created using the concept modeling tools:

–Lines from points

–Lines from sketches

–Lines from edges

•Surface bodies can be created using the concept modeling tools:

–Surfaces from line bodies

–Surfaces from sketches

–Surfaces from 3D edges

•Lines From Points:

–Points can be any 2D sketch points, 3D model vertices or Point Feature (PF) points.

–A point segment is a straight line connecting two selected points.

–The feature can produce multiple Line Bodies, depending on the connectivity of the chosen point segments.

–The Operation field allows Add or Add Frozen choices for line bodies.
