-
From the Analysis & Preparation section of the action bar, click Stamping Direction
.
-
Select the surface.
-
Check the completion status of key indicators for the draft, depth, and cutout
analyses.
-
Drag the
Robot
to optimize the stamping direction.
Stamping Direction displays a specific Robot with U, V, and W axes. Translation and rotation values are
visible in the 3D area.
-
Double-click the Robot to edit it.
-
Enter rounding thresholds as required.
-
Select a linear element to align one axis of the Robot with it.
-
Select a set of faces to align a direction using the mean value of the
faces normals.
-
Click a key indicator to display editable analysis parameters and
results.
For more information, see Performing a Draft Analysis, Performing a Depth Analysis, and Performing a Cutout Analysis.
-
Click
Edit Stamping Direction
or
Edit Axis Constraint
for a precise positioning of the

-
Optional: Under
More:
-
Activate more options
(Compute Areas,
Real Time Analysis,
Fly Analysis,
Center Axis).
-
Select a display mode.
-
Select faces with issues. From the context toolbar, create a tool direction .
-
When several directions exist, select one in the list to make it
current.
-
Click
Optimization.
-
Edit the angular variation and number of solutions to compute.
-
For Business Logic, specify your own criteria in
Data Setup.
-
Click
Start Optimization.
-
Navigate through the proposed solutions.
Optimization is
done as follows:
- For the draft analysis,
Optimization tries to minimize areas with
back draft, then areas with no draft, then the projected area.
- For depth analysis,
Optimization tries to minimize the area
over the target value, then the current maximum depth.
- For the cutout analysis,
Optimization tries to minimize the length
over the target value, then the current maximum cutout angle.
- For Business Logic, specify your own.
A
Stamping Direction Set is created. It contains
- One
Main Stamping Direction Feature (axis system).
- Secondary Direction Features (axis
systems) are created below.
- One
Stamping Direction Analysis Set (for the main
stamping direction), with:
- An
Analysis Surface Mesh. It is a join of the
analyzed surfaces that computes a mesh over them.
- A
Draft Analysis feature with published
parameters and a color ramp.
- A
Depth Analysis feature with published
parameters and a color ramp.
- A
Cutout Analysis feature with published
parameters and a color ramp.
