Hi!


Lately working on user specific requirements for thickness analysis. Especially on 3D thickness and Sectioning.


I want to know what would users prefer while calculating thickness of section.


There are typically two ways:


1) Try to fit a Sphere for 3D or have a section and try to fit a circle touching 3 points. Or try to fit largest dia


What would users prefer?


2) By Ray method draw a line from point perpendicular to face til it touches the other surface.


Want to know feedback from users designing plastic parts.

Awaiting your feedback!


Thanks,


Prashant

The sphere method is needed to calculate minimum sections for heat
treating, etc... and would be very helpful, but only in 3D.
