Deformation Form

The Deformation form is used to import deforming mesh files. This form is only used when defining a deforming moving body. See Deforming moving bodies.

Three options are provided:

• Load deform meshes

  Load in a time series of STL meshes defining the motion of the body.

• Delete deform mesh data

  Delete any previously loaded time series of data.

• Reset bounding box - All deform mesh extents

  Move over all imported STL files and reset the bounding box to expose the full extent of all possible motion.

Location

The Deformation form is found on the following context-specific toolbars (accessed through the Create menu):
