The following changes have been made to the Molded Forms task.

Hot Fix and Service Pack Updates

• You can now split a seam multiple times using Split Root System. Previously, the software only supported splitting plates and profiles. For more information about placing and delaying multiple splits, see Split Root System and Split a root system into multiple root systems. (P2 CP:349755)

• Profiles can be bounded by a non-zero offset. For more information, see Boundary List Dialog Box. (P2 CP:192241)

• Added Routing Tab to Edge Reinforcement Profile Part Properties Dialog Box. For more information, see Profile Edge Reinforcement Properties Dialog Box. (P2 CP:311379)

• For profile systems, the software only displays material types and grades that are applicable to the selected profile cross-section type. (P2 CP:304505)

• When defining profile orientation, you can now use plate planning and design seams to define profile region boundaries along profile landing curves. For more information, see Rule Region Definition in Profile Orientation. (P2 CP:303289)

• Profile systems support offset boundaries using the Boundary List dialog box. For more information, see Boundary List Dialog Box. (P2 CP:303284)

• Edit > Change Geometry Type contains an option that allows you to toggle an existing profile by projection between 2D and 3D landing curve definition methods. (P2 CP:303286)

• You can place an opening without cutting the plate to avoid failures due to concurrent users. For more information, see Openings and Cut/Uncut Openings. (P2 CP:352196)

• Added information about modifying the plate boundaries using the Boundary List Dialog Box. For more information, see Boundary Methods. (P3 CP:313250)

Version 2016 (11.0)

• Formerly known as SmartPlant 3D (SP3D) and SmartMarine 3D (SM3D), the products are now integrated and rebranded as Smart 3D (S3D). Replaced all instances of SP3D and SM3D with S3D in the Export Neutral/GeniE XML section of this guide. (P1 CP:273062)

• The Bracket Plate System command improves the workflow for bracket creation. Length 1 and Length 2 boxes do not display by default when Support 1 and Support 2 are planar.
