Analysis Menu: Main Tools

Access: Invoke this group of functions from the following location:

  • Select Analysis > Main Tools from the menu bar. Select the required function.

This group of functions is used to perform various analysis operations.

The following functions are available in this group:

Curvature Map

Map the different curvature radii of faces and then color the faces giving each range of radii a different color.

Deviation Map

Calculates the deviation (distances) between two versions of a part, it can also be used to highlight the interference between parts. This function then shows the distances as a color-coded map.

Direction Analysis

Analyze selected faces and visualize their draft angle with reference to a defined direction.

Long Thin Feature Analysis

Analyze the geometry and look for thin and long features.

Measurement

Measure distance, angles, curvature and general data of objects and entities.

Slot Size Analysis

Analyze the slot sizes of a body. This checks for pockets and ribs that have a height to thickness ratio larger than a defined threshold value (to find slots that are long relative to their thickness).

Wall Thickness Analysis

Analyze the wall thickness of objects.
