To Create a Composite Part

To Create a Composite Part
Once you have a design part with an available base surface, you can begin your composite part design. If you want to use a solid surface for applying composite material, copy it into a surface feature prior to creating the composite part.
1. From the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar, click File > New. The New dialog box appears.
2. Select Part as the Type, and Composite as the Sub-type, then enter the name of the new composite part.
3. Type or select the name of the existing design part that contains the base surface. If the part contains more than one surface feature, the part appears in a small window.
4. Select the surface to be used as the base surface. When the surface has been selected, the design model appears in the main window. A merge of the design part into the composite part is created automatically.
You can now add beads and flanges to the composite part. These must all be added before you start adding plies or cores.
