2.Fit: Creating a Belt "Path"

2.Fit: Creating a Belt "Path"

The second stage of seatbelt definition requires you to "fit" the belt by:
  • defining a crude "path" for the belt;
  • assigning geometric properties to that path (width, thickness, etc)
  • assisting PRIMER in fitting the path to the structure using a form-finding process.

And hence obtaining an accurate geometry for the actual belt which can then be meshed. The main FITTING panel is shown here in its initial state with no path defined. To define one the Define Path command is used.

Entering " 2.Fit " also maps the Fitting Options panel.

The options on here will be described in more detail under Fitting Options below.
