In this task you will apply a controlled modification to a solid by performing on it the same actions already applied to a surface (using the GSM Bend and the GSM Twist commands). To accomplish this task, open file "GlobalReplicate_02.e3"
To obtain this model, a GSM Bend command was applied first, and then a GSM Twist.
Start the GSM Replicate command and proceed as follows.
| 1 | In the Deformed reference entity drop-down list, select
Surface. Then click on the surface on the right, as in the following illustration: |
| 2 | To define the level of the controlled modifications to apply (for example: 1 - only last one; 2 - last one and the one before ... and so on), first click on More Options to expand it, then select the
Copy box and choose 1
GSM Twist both in the
From level and in the
To level drop-down lists. |
| 3 | Select the solid you want to modify. In the Entities drop-down list (under Entities to Be Modified) select Solid, then click on the solid.  |
| 4 | To see a preview, select the Preview (  ) button. |
| 5 | Now, try to see what happens if you apply the first of the two controlled modifications instead of the last one. In the From level and
To level drop-down lists select 2
GSM Bend (which is the controlled modification applied first, so its number is the greatest in the list). Then select the
Preview ( ) button. |
| 6 | Finally, to apply both controlled modifications, select 1 GSM Twist in the
From level drop-down list and 2
GSM Bend in the
To level drop-down list. |
| 7 | Click  or  to confirm your selections modify the shape of the object. Click  to discard your changes. |
