OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: D Perform Radius, Slope, and Reflection Analyses. D Use Deviation Analysis to find gaps and non tangent conditions. D Use Dynamic Deviation Gauge to check the deviation of a sheet body using graphical and numeric feedback in real time. D Use the dynamic Section Analysis tool and Grid Section Analysis to ensure that surface integrity is maintained during edit operations.

In this Lesson, the tools used for face analysis will be discussed. The face analysis tools may be found on the Analyze Shape toolbar. Deviation Gauge Face Analysis- Reflection Section Analysis Face Analysis Icons Face Analysis Icons Graph Graph Options Output Listing Output Listing Options Face Analysis- Radius Grid Section Analysis Face Analysis Using the Analyze Shape toolbar or Analysis"Face from the pull-down menu, Radius, Reflection, Slope, and Distance allow you to select faces for the display of temporary color analysis. These displays can be useful for detecting inflections or variations in face curvature as well as for obtaining approximate numerical data such as minimum radius, slope relative to a vector, or distance from a plane. Radius allows you to check the curvature properties of the faces. Reflection allows you to map lines or an image onto the faces to check the reflective characteristics of the faces. Slope allows you to analyze the angles of the face relative to a specified vector. Distance allows you to analyze the distance of the face from a specified plane.
