 =====How to work with the Analysis=====
-The easies way to work with the analysis tool is to use the diffusive modulus template.

+[[tutorials:how_to:use_the_diffusive_modulus_template|Use the diffusive modulus template]]
+The diffusive modulus template allows you to very quickly have an overview of how the solidification is influenced by the geometry, only.
+In the practical world the solidification pattern is not that "overcritical" and hotspots identified by the diffusive - geometric - approach might dissapear when the analysis is done using the thermal modulus.
+====Preparation of a regular analysis====
+Requirements:
+  - You need to select {{:glyphs:selectiontrue.png?30|}} a model from the models menu
+  - Instentiate it {{:glyphs:itemadd.png?30|}} so that it is shown as origin in the LAYOUT FEATURE {{:glyphs:editorconstruction.png?30|}}
+  - In the DOMAIN FEATURE {{:glyphs:analysisdatadomain.png?30|}} materials have to be defined for casting and mold
+  - In the BASIC SETTINGS FEATURE {{:glyphs:designeditorbasics.png?30|}} proper bounds for the meshing have to be set. (use either a 10% Margin on the 3d diagonal of the bounding box of your part or enter the dimensions of your mold, for example.)
+  - (in the OVERVIEW FEATURE {{:glyphs:designeditoroverview.png?30|}} you must see your part shown in the color as selected/given in the DOMAINS FEATURE {{:glyphs:analysisdatadomain.png?30|}}
+  - Create a proper discretization of your part using the DISCRETIZATION FEAUTURE {{:glyphs:editordiscretization.png?30|}} for the *DESIGN*

+  - Create a proper discretization of your part using the DISCRETIZATION FEAUTURE {{:glyphs:editordiscretization.png?30|}} for the *SCULPTING*
+  - Modify your geometry with the SCULPTING FEATURE {{:glyphs:editorsculpting.png?30|}} by pressing the INITIALIZE button and use of stencils or brush tools to modify the mesh.
+====Calculations in the ANALYSIS FEATURE====
+The ANALYSIS FEATURE {{:glyphs:editoranalysis.png?30|}} allows you to calculate the solutions for
+  * Thickness
+  * Diffusive Modulus
+  * Thermal Modulus
+  * Undercuts
+  * Thickness(Sculpt) and Modulus(Sculpt).
+The discretization as well as the solutions may be viewed in different configurations.
+You may also alter the appearance of the analysis or highlight important locations by adding annotations using the SHOW HOTSPOT  button.
