Seatbelt Mesh Generation
Create a seatbelt mesh.
After the wrap around components have been selected and the global belt data have been set up in the seatbeltsystem Entity Editor, you can create the seatbelt mesh.
- From the Entity Editor, with the seatbeltsystem entity selected, select the belt mesh type in the Mesh Parameters section.
- Define the attributes for the mesh realization.
-
In the Pick Nodes field, select the nodes that define the belt path.
The tool will automatically generate the mesh on the defined path.
