#### 3.5.1.6. Draping Definition on Modeling Ply Level

Just like OSS, draping can be activated on the Modeling Ply level. To activate the draping you toggle the Draping check box and define a Seed Point. By default, the Mesh Size and Draping Direction are evaluated automatically.

An additional feature, Thickness Correction, is implemented in the Internal Draping algorithm. Due to the shear deformation, the fiber direction and thickness of the ply change. This change can also be considered by activating the Thickness Correction option.
