Workflow overview: Create and use analyses
1 Open a part file or double-click a part in an assembly.
2 Click Tools ➤ Analysis or click the arrow on the Analysis Visibility tool,
and then select the type of analysis to create.
3 On the setup dialog box for the analysis, adjust the analysis settings as
needed.
4 Apply the analysis.
5 Change visibility on the active analysis as needed.
6 Use the Model browser to edit, copy, delete, and rename saved analyses.
7 Optionally, create additional analyses for selected models and switch
between them as needed.
Create Zebra Analyses
The zebra analysis evaluates faces by projecting parallel lines onto the model.
Results show curvatures on the face to help identify areas that may be flat
(stripes are parallel) or that are not continuously tangent (stripes are jagged
where the curvature is not constant).
The active analysis is marked as On, for example, Analysis: Zebra1 (On). You
can create an analysis based on an existing analysis. You specify the direction
that shows the most contrast between stripes to indicate transition between
surfaces, stripe thickness by relative proportion of black to white, and opacity
of stripes.
