Connect Checker Analysis lets you check and analyze how
two surfaces are connected to each other based on continuity, constraints, and
tolerance.
Before you begin: Open a 3D shape.
In the Type area, select the type of connection you want to check.
Note:
If you select one of these connection types, the analysis will be done in
explicit mode. If you do not make a selection, the analysis will be done in
implicit mode.
Select one or several elements.
Select Quick display mode.
Select the continuity analysis type to display.
Optional: Use the spin boxes to adjust the threshold values.
Optional: If you are analyzing elements which have been joined
(using a join or match command) and you want to analyze the internal
connections, select Internal Edge
(this
command is by default unselected).
Clear Quick display mode to display the full mode's options, and then select Comb and Envelope .
In the Information area, select MinInfo and MaxInfo .
Adjust the analysis color scale on the element:
In the Display area, select Full Color Scale .
In the color scale dialog box, select the
Auto Min Max check box.
Click
OK. The analysis
is added to the
tree
and will be updated automatically whenever you modify any of the input
elements.
Important:
There may be a tangency discontinuity while a curvature
continuity exists. This may appear for instance in the case of two non tangent
planar surfaces.
