Angle Image

If checked, an FE image will be created containing lines in places where the angle deviation in the FE model is smaller than the value given in the FE model settings.

Small angles should be avoided but especially in the curved parts this is not always possible. Triangles need to be used to break down warped shell elements (that means, the points of the shell elements are not all in the same plane which can not be handled by FEA software).

The angle between two lines sharing one endpoint is calculated and compared with the value given in "Angle deviation".

The resulting object will get the name _FGAxxx with xxx=name of the idealized block

When the model does not contain any angle problems the _FGAxxx object will not be created.
