Draft analysis

The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.

Tooling axis creation

The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis. And for that the model is visually analyzed to know which is the most suitable direction for tooling axis. After analyzing the direction, we can create dummy tooling axis. Here there is no need to perform the bisecting method, as the face of the surface is at 90 degree. So a vertical line at the visually identified point is enough for tooling axis. For the draft analysis in interior part of the dog house, a side core axis have been created.

Draft analysis report of Dog House

The below figure shows the draft analysis report for the Dog House. The blue colour zone shows that there is 0.5 degree draft angle.
