To Perform a Section Thickness Check Using Make Slices
1. On the Mold or Cast tab, click Analysis and then click 
Section Thickness. The Model Analysis dialog box opens.
Section Thickness. The Model Analysis dialog box opens.2. Select the part on which to perform the check. The part is highlighted.
3. Under Type, click Slices. The Slices options appear.
4. Select a Start Point.
5. Select an End Point.
The line defined by these two points will be projected through the part to define a plane to be used as the first slice in the thickness check.
6. To create more than one slice, click the Use number of slices check box and type a number greater than 1 in the box.
7. Set the Slice Direction:
a. Select Plane, Curve/Edge/Axis, or Coordinate System. The GEN SEL DIR menu appears.
b. Select an entity to which the direction of slice creation is normal. An arrow appears, originating at the selected entity. The DIRECTION menu appears.
c. To change the direction, click Flip.
d. Click Okay.
8. Accept the default or type a new number for the Offset Slice.
9. Under Thickness, click Max or Min to provide minimum and maximum values upon which to base the check.
10. If you click Max, type a value for the maximum allowable wall thickness and press ENTER.
11. If you click Min, type a value for the minimum allowable wall thickness and press ENTER.
12. Click Compute to initiate the thickness check.
The system creates a series of cross-sections, each separated from the other by the slice offset value (see the following figure for an example of a slice). Regions of the model that are thicker than the allowable maximum are cross-hatched in red, and regions where the thickness of the model is less than the allowable minimum are cross-hatched in blue.
13. Once the cross section appears, you can use any of the following commands:
◦ Show All—To display all of the cross-sections at a single time.
◦ Arrows—To toggle from one cross section to another.
◦ Clear—To remove all of the cross-sections (except the current one) from the display.
◦ Click 
Info to bring up the INFORMATION WINDOW, displaying slices that are above or below maximum or minimum values, the area of the region which violates the value, the plane, and the value that was violated.

a. Type a name for the analysis in the Name box and press ENTER. The name appears in the list.
b. Click
