| title | Draft Angle Analysis |
|---|
| The Draft Angle Analysis allows the user to easily analyze a part for proper draft angle. A Draft Angle describes the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. 
See Draft Angle Analysis. |

| title | Wall Thickness Analysis |
|---|
| Discovery changes in thickness of parts using the Wall Thickness Analysis tool. One can quickly determine if parts are too thick or too thin with the color washing of the model. 
See Wall Thickness Analysis. |

| Curvature analysis color maps the curvature of a surface based on the curvature analysis used (Gaussian, Mean, Maximum) to aid in design and manufacturing preparation. 
See Curvature Analysis. |

| Exploded Assembly enables you to quickly transform multiple or all parts of an assembly in a chosen uniform pattern. Choose one of the three different transformation methods: - Linear - All components move in one direction
- Radial - All components move out from a central axis
- Spherical - All components move out from a central point.
| Expand |
|---|
| Linear - Transforms the parts of the assembly in a straight line along the selected axis.
 Radial - Transforms the parts of the assembly in a circular direction around the selected axis, starting from the coordinate system origin.
Spherical -Transforms the parts of the assembly in a spherical direction around the coordinate system origin.

|---|
|
- Coordinate System - Specify the global coordinate system or select a user-defined coordinate system as the point of origin for the exploded transformations. This specification can be used with all types of exploded assemblies.
- Axis - Select the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis as the direction the selected exploded assembly type will take. Axis is used only with Linear and Radial transformation methods.
