Worked Example

Start a new drawing then right click in the editor and set the view to Isometric.

Draw a circle with a radius of 50.

Extrude this circle to a height of 15, with a draft angle of 30.

In this example, a Gain of 2500 is applied to the top face of the solid. A Stretch and Bend factor of 2 is applied with a Resolution of 70. The No Tangency option is selected.

No Tangency

Gain of 2500; no tangency

Shared Faces Curvatures

In the example below, a Gain of 2500 is applied to the top face of the solid. A Stretch and Bend factor of 2 is applied with a Resolution of 70. The Shared Faces Curvatures option is selected.

Gain of 2500; Shared Faces Curvature

Shared Faces Tangent

In the example below, a Gain of 2500 is applied to the top face of the solid. A Stretch and Bend factor of 21 and 18 respectively is applied with a Resolution of 70. The Shared Faces Tangent option is selected.

Gain of 2500; Share Faces Tangent

In the example below, downward (negative) pressure of 50 is applied to the face shown by the arrow.

The result is shown below.

Negative gain, no tangency
