APPLICATION - THICKNESS CHECKER:
 

What is ray method / sphere method ? Is this a standard terminology for thickness definition?

Why are the results shown by ray method and sphere method not identical ?

Which method to chose for thickness analysis?

What is chord length and chord height ? How do they affect the thickness results?

What is "Ignore Thickness at Edges"?

Changing the maximum thickness value to be ignored in the ignore Thickness at edges shows no change in the results. Why ?

What is the accuracy of the computed values?

 
 
APPLICATION - SECTION THICKNESS:
 

What is difference between 2D thickness at Section and 3D Thickness at Section? Which one to use when?

 
 
APPLICATION - DISPLAY:
