Thicken Feature
The Thicken feature is available for both part and for assembly modes and can be defined with respect to coordinate systems, axes, and surfaces. You can apply this feature to check the thickness of a part in the model. This feature also forms the basis for model analysis and thickness check. The result of the thickness analysis is as follows:
• The thickness is between the design range.
• The thickness exceeds the maximum design value.
• The thickness is below the minimum design value.
Thicken features use predetermined surface features or quilt geometry to add or remove thin material sections in the design. The surface features or quilt geometry provide greater flexibility within the design and enable you to transform the geometry to better meet the design needs.
