Defines the surface used for the creation of plate and stiffener geometry on a panel. When the contour is not closed or the contour segments are not continuous within tolerances, Smart 3D joins the segments with a straight line. Smart 3D also transforms local coordinates into global coordinates.

StartPoint2d
Defines the starting node point coordinates in the 2D U-V plane.
<Segment2d>
Specifies a segment of the contour in the 2D U-V plane. The segment can be a straight line or an arc.
Amplitude2d
Defines the distance of the midpoint of a segment from a line drawn between the node points. The U and V values are 0 for a straight line.
Node2d
Defines the ending node point coordinates of a contour segment in the 2D U-V plane.
StartPoint3d
Defines the starting node point coordinates in 3D space.
<Segment3d>
Specifies a segment of the contour in 3D space. The segment can be a straight line or an arc.
Amplitude3d
Defines the distance of the midpoint of a segment from a line drawn between the node points. The U, V, and W values are 0 for a straight line.
Node3d
Defines the ending node point coordinates of a contour segment in 3D space.
U
Defines a value along the U-axis of the local coordinate system.
V
Defines a value along the V-axis of the local coordinate system.
W
Defines a value along the W-axis of the local coordinate system.
