- Figure 1 – DrawB Interface
Purpose:
This interface is for metal forming. It allows display, creation, modification, and deletion of draw beads. Drawbeads are generally created on dies to control the draw of the work piece. The inputs for creating drawbeads are generally curves from a die design group. Alternately the input can be a node set or a beam part. These node sets and beam parts are generally created using other facilities in LS-PrePost. Given the geometry of the drawbead, die part, and the blank information, this interface creates a contact definition for the drawbead in the form of a *CONTACT_DRAWBEAD keyword card.
Controls:
Show – Show existing *CONTACT_DRAWBEAD entities
Modify – Modify existing *CONTACT_DRAWBEAD entities- Create – Create new *CONTACT_DRAWBEAD entities
- Delete – Delete existing *CONTACT_DRAWBEAD entities
For Show, Modify, Create, and Delete, the Entity Operation Interface is displayed in the secondary controls area.
