About Staggering Edition

   
  Below are possible scenarios and expected results.
Color codes:
Green is for the default staggering.
Yellow, blue are for sub-staggering created by you.
Red is for sub-staggering generated by Composites Design.

  • The ramp definition of the default staggering is no longer of Centered Ramp/Centered Ramp Support type:
    The generated sub-staggerings, if any, and associated ramp supports are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you change the ramp definition of the default staggering to Centered Ramp/Centered Ramp Support type,
    sub-staggering are generated for the disconnected areas of the default staggering.
  • If you edit the limit of a sub-staggering you have created, the limit of the generated sub-staggering is corrected.

  • The edition of the limit of the sub-staggering you have created may lead to the deletion of the generated sub-staggering and of its ramp support.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you delete a sub-staggering you have created that is adjacent to a generated sub-staggering, the limit of the generated sub-staggering is corrected.
  • If you delete a sub-staggering you have created that is adjacent to the default staggering, no action is performed.
  • If you delete a sub-staggering you have created that is adjacent to the default staggering and to a generated sub-staggering,
    the deleted sub-staggering and the generated sub-stagering are merged into the default staggering.
    Ramp supports associated to the merged sub-staggerings are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you create a sub-staggering that partially overlaps a generated sub-staggering, the limits of the generated sub-staggering are corrected.
  • If you create a sub-staggering that completely overlaps a generated sub-staggering, the generated sub-staggering and its associated ramp supports are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you create a sub-staggering that partially overlaps the default staggering, no action is performed.
  • If you create a sub-staggering that completely overlaps the default staggering, the generated sub-staggering and its associated ramp supports are deleted.
    The deleted generated sub-staggering becomes the new default staggering.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you apply the same ramp definition (used for the default staggering) to all sub-staggerings, all sub-staggerings and their associated ramp supports are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you apply the default ramp definition to a sub-staggering you have created, that is adjacent to a generated sub-staggering,
    the sub-staggering you have created is merged into the generated sub-staggering and its associated ramp supports are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies.
  • If you apply the default ramp definition to a sub-staggering you have created, that is adjacent to the default staggering,
    the sub-staggering you have created is merged into the default staggering and its associated ramp supports are deleted.
    If the deleted ramp supports were used by ply contours, the contours are in update error, you must regenerate the plies
