      </table><br><p class="para_topic">The Welcome page provides an overview of the Stone Impingement wizard function, and explains how the wizard helps you to determine the areas on an automotive body panel that may be damaged by stones thrown by a moving tire. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">As the tire rotates, stones are randomly projected by the tire and strike the adjacent panel. The angle of impingement at the point of contact is calculated, and contour lines that represent constant angles of impingement are created. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">The wizard optionally lets you select faces to block the path of the stones and prevent them from hitting the panel.</p>
