Section
The Section option is used to request solvers to output force and moment results on the specified faces.
Section
There are two ways users can define the surface as Section.
- Select “Faces”
- Select “Bodies”
- From the selected bodies, SimLab will find the internal faces and define section on it.
- “Show internal faces” option used to visualize the internal faces from the selected bodies.
