Running Geometry Analysis

- [Instructor] Now let's hit the Calculate button to run the geometry analysis. You can see that it's going through and checking all of the edges, and it'll also check all of the faces. Depending on how complex your part or assembly is, this can take a different amount of time. It also depends on how strong your computer is and how much computational power it has, so if you have a better video card with a better processor, obviously this will go faster. I'm working on a pretty stable and powerful workstation right now. All right, now we can see our analysis results. We have 54 short edges, so we're going to want to take a look at these. And it highlights the areas where we find them. You can see it there identifying the first edge, second edge. We have some small faces. And it shows us where those areas are. Ooh, that is a very small face. So you see I would have never been able to see that unless I used the analysis. Some sliver faces. Let's identify a few of those. So if we zoom…
