Tutorial: Run Using Existing Mesh with Drape

Tutorial Level: Beginner Submit a run starting with an existing mesh with Midsurface mesh.

Note:
  • The mesh file units should be in meters.
  • The part names should match the names of the geometry parts in Inspire RTM with 3D suffixed. For example, if the geometry part is spoiler, then the mesh part is spoiler3D.
  • The MidSurface mesh has to be in MidSurface2D component.
  • The mesh file should contain only the meshed components.
