CST2013: Cover Curve to Face

Modeling: ShapesFaces and AperturesConstruction FacesCover Curve to Face

In this dialog box you can cover a previously selected planar curve with a sheet in order to create a face from this curve.
Please note: The created face is not considered in the simulation, but can be used to create other structures and to integrate fields on the face's surface.

After selecting the corresponding ribbon control an interactive mode will be entered in which a curve needs to be selected. This curve will then be used for the creation of the new face.

As soon as the new face is created it will appear in the main plot window and on the navigation tree.

The picture below shows the face created by covering a rectangle:
