Small distance between hole and louver DFM check
Small distance between hole and louver overview
When a hole is drilled too close to the edge of a louver, it can cause manufacturing difficulties, compromise structural integrity, restrict airflow, and result in aesthetic concerns.
Small distance between hole and louver detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — actual distance between hole and louver
- — actual thickness
- — expected minimum distance between hole and louver to sheet thickness ratio
How MTK detects small distances between holes and louvers
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for small distances between holes and louvers. 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 small distance between hole and louver DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
