Tools in CAD to analyze your part

“

- Now that we have some good tools on how to help surface your part and kind of refine it, and thinking about how that refinement is going to reference your part lines, let's also look at the surface finish of the part. So, in Fusion 360 there's a couple cool tools. If you go to inspect and you go to zebra analysis. Now, this is a curvature analysis of the surface of your part. So we're looking at the curves and how it flows from one area to another area. So, this is a really good tool to look at how good your surface finish is and how smooth it is and how nice those transitions and stuff are. That's really good for surfacing, for the modeling and aesthetics. It's also really good for composites because remember, these are fabrics. So, we don't really like changing directions, hard, like making these really sharp 90 degree turns in composites. We can do it. There's ways of doing it. We've talked about…
