Limitations on surface analysis
The following limitations apply to the Surface Analysis function:
• The curvature radius analysis only works on a single face at a time. You cannot analyze the radii of an entire part.
• The curvature radius analysis is a point-wise evaluation (measured at the cursor point). It does not return global minimum and maximum values.
• Facet refinement will influence the quality of the analysis. Better faceting data leads to better surface analysis results.
• Extreme facet refinement will reduce system performance.
• Select faces or parts manually only when using the Surface Analysis tool (not when using Surface Analysis in the Surfacing menus).
• When selecting new faces or parts in the Surface Analysis tool, it is not possible to have the sub-dialog open.
