The geometry of the plate is defined by the input of corner points. It can be chosen, if a straight line or a circular curved border shall be used to reach the next point.

The co-ordinates x and y of each geometry point must be given such, that a counter clock-wise orientation of the points building the plate surface is set. The build system is always updated and drawn such, that the actual last line is connected with first given point to close the system.

For example, the border 1 is a straight line. The second border is given a rotation centre at the position 500./0. so that a counter clock-wise curved border is built. (defined by +1, right hand rule)

Border X Y Xm Ym rotation
1 0. 0.    
2 1000. 0. 500. 0. 1.


The mesh is generated automatically.

Any holes or cut-offs can be built as well very easily. Here you have first to go into the system (border 1) defining the hole (border 2) and then to return back the same way (border 3 as 1) you have gone into the system. The last border 4 closes the system returning to the starting point. The inner circle (border 2) is built clock-wise (-1: left hand rule), the outer circle (border 4) counter clock-wise (+1: right hand rule).


Border X Y Xm Ym rotation
1 0. 0.      
2 0. 300. 0. 500. -1.
3 0. 300.      
4 0. 0. 0. 500. 1.
