This section provides examples of creating midsurface models from solid models. In the first example the solid part has reasonably uniform thickness, and creation of the midsurface model is relatively easy. The second example is more complex and requires multiple steps to create a midsurface model that accurately represents the original solid model:

• “Midsurface modeling of a stamped bracket,” Section 35.4.1

• “Midsurface modeling of a complex part,” Section 35.4.2

• “Creating the shell representation of the beam,” Section 35.4.3
