Data Conversion
Conversion between ply-based and zone-based models.
Ply-Based to Zone-Based (Realization)
Laminate realization generates a zone-based model from a ply-based model. Realization is performed from the Model Browser or Composite Browser by right-clicking on a Laminate and selecting Realize from the context menu.
Zone-Based to Ply-Based (Absorption)
Property absorption generates a ply-based model from an existing zone-based model. Absorption is performed by selecting the tool.
