Material_Thickness_Vector_Corresponds_To_Thick_Surface_Orientation

This check verifies whether a limit point of the specified material vector lies on the input surface of a thick surface, and whether the material thickness vector and the thick surface have the same orientation.

This page discusses:

Context

Also, the check can verify whether the material thickness vector is normal to the thick surface.

The check fails if the material thickness vector has a wrong orientation, and also if there are no or more than one line with the specified name.

The check displays an error if more than one thick surface has been created on the same input surface, or if there is no thick surface.

The material thickness vector is defined as a line. One limit point of this line must have the input surface of the thick surface as a direct or indirect parent element.

Check Information

Check Details Description
Applicable to ThickSurface
Automatic Solution
Check Parameters
  • MaterialThicknessVectorName: String type.

    Specifies the name of the material thickness vector.

  • DistanceOfLimitPointToSurfaceLessThan: Real type.

    Specifies the maximum allowed distance between the input surface and the nearest limit point of the material thickness vector.

  • CheckNormalToSurfaceTolerance: Boolean type.

    If this option is selected, the material thickness vector must be normal to the thick surface.

  • NormalAngleTolerance: Real type.

    Specifies the allowed tolerance angle between the material thickness vector and the normal of the input surface.
