minimum wall thickness..

does anybody know of a utility that will look at a file and tell you what
the minimum wall thickness is? want to make sure some casting models are
OK.

thanks

 

isn't there a wall thickness check in the utilities?

There is no such tool...unfortunately. Would be a good one only although
probably very hard to implement (from a programmers perspective).

 

Tim is correct -- there is a thickness analysis in Solidworks utilities --
it must be loaded under Tools Addins -- plus you must have solidworks office
or had purchased SW utilities. They have added to this tool in the next
release. Very nice stuff.

Yeah, there is, if you have SW Office. In the "Utilities" add in someone
else mentioned, there is a "Thickness Analysis" which can find the minimum
thickness for a model.

Sure.If you have Pro-E.IT is easy to check minimum thickness.Set the
minimum size,1.0mm, and two reference plan between which the thickness
will be checked.Where the thickness is thinner than the min you set
will desplay in red.

If you have SolidWorks Office (I'm using SW2004), you get the
Thickness Analysis tool (under the Utilities menu when the
SolidWorksUtilities add-in is checked). You can use it to look for
areas below a specified wall thickness in SolidWorks.

That great! Thanks for turning me on to a tool that I didnt know existed.
