Simplify Elements to beams dialog

This panel steps you through the conversion of a runner into beam elements.

Note: The gates will have to be modeled manually. Deleting the existing mesh prior to modeling the gate will cause holes in the mesh that will also need to be repaired.

To use this tool, click Elements to Beams (Geometry tab > Modify panel > Elements to Beams).

Note: The beam element properties may need to be redefined for a more accurate runner system. Select the element/s to be redefined and select Edit (Mesh tab > Properties panel > Edit) to open a dialog where the properties can be altered.
