Tools Info Analysis Automatic

The Analysis command provides access to a set of functions used to analyze curves, surfaces, meshes and solids. First select the entities (Entities) you want to analyze, then select the type of analysis to perform in the Type drop-down list.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION	3D	2D
Entity Size	Displays the size of one or more entities
Curve Length	Displays the length of a curve.
Surface Area	Displays the area of a surface or mesh.
Volume	Displays the partial or total volume and the corresponding weight of the space enclosed by one or more surfaces, meshes and/or solids.
Center of Mass	Displays the coordinates of the center of mass or the center of volume of a set of solids, meshes and/or surfaces.
Inertia Properties	Displays the inertia properties of a set of solids, meshes and/or surfaces.
Normals	Displays the normals to one or more curves/surfaces/meshes/solid faces.
Solid Orientation	Enables you to check the normals to the faces of a solid.
Check Manifold	Enables you to determine whether a selected object is manifold or not (i.e.: it encloses a single full space, or has appended surfaces or not).
Inflection Points	Displays arrows indicating the inflections in a selected curve.
Curve Curvature Diagram	Creates the graph of the curvature of a curve as a function of the u parameter.
Local	Analyzes curves, surfaces, meshes or other entities to display their local information at the selected point.
Plane Sections	Enables you to easily draw section lines on a set of solids, meshes and/or surfaces.
Plane Curvature	Enables you to easily draw a dynamic plot of the curvature or of the radius of curvature, in which you can change both the scale and the density.
Highlights	Enables you to temporarily draw shadow lines on surfaces, so as to obtain a simplified representation of the surface enabling you to better appreciate its shape and perform a quality estimation of it.
Isophotes	Enables you to temporarily draw isophotes or zebra lines on a surface in order to get a simplified representation of it and estimate its shape.
Draft Analysis	Enables you to perform a draft analysis. The surfaces will be shaded according to the values of the angle you want to analyze.
Curvature Map	Enables you to analyze the curvature of a surface in several ways.
Curvature Signs	Enables you to shade the objects so as to analyze the locations where the curvature changes its sign; that is concave and or convex.
GSM Distance	Enables you to shade the objects so as to analyze the distances of homologous points in the controlled modification.
Section Analysis	Analyzes the properties of existing sections or sections derived from surfaces in the 3D model.
