Define the upper and lower limits when performing a thickness strain analysis.
A thickness stain analysis enables evaluating the formality of stamping. The default range of the upper and lower limits is between 10 and -20 Engineering %. A negative value indicates the part is thinning out. Severe thinning indicates splitting can occur and thickening indicates wrinkling can occur.
The upper and lower limits values defined here affect the following DieDesign functions:
- Auto Blank on Binder – (in Optional Step 2)
- Blank – (in Optional Step 3)
- Blank on Binder – (in Optional Step 3)
- Local Blank – (in Optional Step 2)
- Show Analysis
The Analysis dialog is displayed.
