Select
ToolsPartition
from the main menu bar to display the Create Partition
dialog box.
When you choose Edge from the
Create Partition dialog box, the
Method list displays the following methods for
partitioning edges:
Enter a parameter in the prompt area, as shown in
Figure 1.
An arrow along the edge indicates the direction of increasing parameter value
from the start vertex (corresponding to an edge parameter value of zero) to the
end vertex (corresponding to a value of one). For detailed instructions, see
Using the enter parameter method to partition edges.
Select a datum plane.
Abaqus/CAE
creates the partition where the datum plane intersects the edges, as shown in
Figure 3.
Partitioning a group of selected edges with a datum plane is a useful technique
for aligning a group of partitions. For detailed instructions, see
Using the datum plane method to partition edges.
