Deviation Analysis

- [Instructor] Another interesting tool is the Deviation Analysis tool, and it's a very specific tool for specific jobs, but it is kind of interesting to see what happens here. So go ahead and click on Deviation Analysis. It's going to be determining the angle between spaces, and I can choose individual edges, like this one right down here, and then go ahead and calculate it. And you can then see what these angles are between the minimum size and the maximum deviation across that line. So if you're looking for specific type of tooling or you're working on a design, you don't want to have too much of an angle on variation, this is going to allow you to easily visualize some of that angle shifting and changing throughout your design, so you can use this with multiple lines if you'd like to as well. Calculating, you can, again, see what's happening in your mold and trying to get the optimal shape and the optimal angles for your design. So, it's a very specific tool, but it is fairly…
