Irregular rib thickness DFM check
Irregular rib thickness overview
The irregular thickness rib issues refers to a situation where the rib thickness is too big or small compared to the wall thickness. Proper thickness value is required to mitigate potential sinking issues and provide uniform cooling and shrinking.
Irregular rib thickness detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — analyzed rib thickness
- — wall thickness
- — minimum thickness to wall thickness ratio
- — maximum thickness to wall thickness ratio
How MTK detects irregular rib thicknesses
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for irregular rib thicknesses. The SDK checks the relevant geometry against DFM criteria to identify potential issues that can increase manufacturing complexity or cost, or lead to quality or assembly problems.
Documentation and API reference
Detailed API reference for the irregular rib thickness DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
