Click the Part Analysis
icon
.
The Part Analysis dialog box appears.
It is divided into two areas: the left one is dedicated to rounds
analysis, the right one to fillets analysis.
-
Select Body.1 as the body of which fillets and rounds you
want to see. You can select it either by clicking on a node of the
specification tree, or by selecting one of its face, edge or vertex in
the geometry area. Note that only one body can be analyzed at a time.
Body.1 is now displayed in the Body to analyze field.
Detecting Fillets and Rounds by Setting
Single Radius Values
|
-
First, you are going to detect the number of rounds and
fillets which radius value is 8mm in your part. For that, first you need
to add colorization rules.
-
At the bottom of the Colorization rules frame,
there is a rule you can define and then add. For the single value rule,
keep the rule type option as Single.
-
To the left of Single, click the color combo
box.
A list appears containing:
-
For example select the blue color. This is the color
chosen for showing all rounds of the part with 0mm as radius value.
The selected color is now displayed in the field in the combo box.
Pointing the cursor over the combo box displays the name of the selected
color.
-
Enter 8 in the radius field next to the Single combo box.
-
Click Add to validate and add the rule.
The Rounds frame now looks like this:
Note that:
-
The rules will be added in the order of sorting. So
even if you change the radius value for the rule, it may get rearranged
in the sorting order.
-
The rule can be deactivated by setting its color as
Automatic.
-
All colorization rules and colors for other options are
saved (only when you click OK to close the dialog box) and
are restored when you launch the capability again.
-
Repeat the previous operations for fillets, just choose a
distinct color to identify them. Red, for example.
You must obtain this:
-
Set the yellow color as the background color. This means
that all the faces of the selected body that do not follow any rule are
colored in yellow.
-
Once done, click OK to compute the results.
An informative window appears, detailing the number and the composition
of detected rounds and fillets.
-
Click OK to close the informative window.
The result now appears. 8 rounds identified by the blue
color and 5 fillets identified by the red color, which radius values are
8mm were recognized.

Detecting Fillets and Rounds by Specifying
Ranges of Radius Values
|
-
Click the Part Analysis
icon
again.
The Part Analysis dialog box appears. You can notice that the
values and colors defined in the previous steps are still displayed in
the dialog box.
-
To colorize rounds or fillets as per range of radius
value, you need to add colorization rules of the range type: to do this,
you just need to set the Range option.
The second radius field is then activated as shown below:
-
Similarly to defining single values, set a color for this
rule and define the range of radius values in the two spinners available
next to the Range field. Range type rule means, fillets/rounds
within that range are colored with that rule. For example set the brown
color and 5mm and 7mm as the values defining the range.
-
Click Add to validate the rule.
The dialog box must look like this:
-
Once done, click OK to compute the results and
close the dialog box.
-
If you wish to define ranges of values for recognizing
fillets, just repeat the same previous steps, paying attention to
defining distinct colors.
Deleting Colorization Rules
|
As the rules can be added, the rules can be deleted too
from the set of colorization rules. You can delete rules whenever you
wish to. For this you, just need to right-click on the added rule to
select the Delete rule contextual command
that appears.
Notes About Defining Rules
While defining or editing the rules for rounds or
fillets, the following three types of messages
are given:
-
Message 1:
While defining or editing rules, if the base radius of 1 rule
becomes same as that of ther rules, the following message is
displayed:
"Part Analysis
This is invalid rule
Base radius for this rule conflicts with that of rule 3."
(Here, the current rule being modified has the same
base radius as that of rule 3):
-
Message 2:
While defining or editing rules, if the base radius of range
type of rule is more than top radius of the range, the following
message is displayed:
"Part Analysis
This is invalid rule
The first radius value cannot be greater than the second value."
(To avoid getting this message frequently, it is
better to change the top radius value of the range)
-
Message 3:
While defining or editing rules, if the range of one rule
overlaps the range of another rule, then the following message is
displayed:
"Part Analysis
This is invalid rule
Range of radius values of this rule conflicts with that of rule 3."
(Here the range of the current rule being modified
overlaps with that of rule 3):
