Frame to Shell

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifConvert frame data created in MIDAS CIVIL or MIDAS GEN into shell data. During the conversion, it can generate mesh directly.

 

Methodology

Select a frame data (*.mcs) file created in midas Civil or midas Gen. Defining the Linear interpolation (straight line) or Smooth step (smooth interpolation), automatically calls up shell elements. This depends on the multi-dimensional curved lines of the selected frame element’s end section,

Checking mesh can create a mesh on the solid during conversion.

 

Interpolation Method

Select an interpolation scheme between two sections at both ends.
