How to do a draft angle analysis

The draft angle analysis of a 3d-model requires:

  1. the CAD data import into MODELS MENU or internally created CAD data using the CSG functionality,
  2. the selection of its material in the DOMAIN FEATURE and
  3. the creation of its Instance in the LAYOUT FEATURE.

Open the “Demolding” Menu from the MAIN FEATURES. To create a Parting Plane use “Add Parting Plane” in the DEMOULDING MENU. Each parting plane can have three basic orientations: Horizontal, Vertical and Lateral - see the PARTING PLANE DIALOGUE on the right side of the screen. Select the orientation that best suits to the geometry by or of the “Orientation” in the PARTING PLANE DIALOGUE. Select the Parting Plane to be the reference for the draft angle analysis and “Select Projected Plane” in the DEMOLDUNG MENU, which opens the “Select Entity” editor window. Select the plane and press the “Ok” in the “Select Entity” editor window. Press in the DEMOLDING MENU and set “Absolute Angles” to “True”. Click onto the “Plane Angle Mode” in the DEMOLDING MENU for the draft angle analysis.
