Small distance between ribs DFM check
Small distance between ribs overview
The small distance between ribs issue refers to a situation where the distance between ribs is smaller than the recommended one. Proper distance between ribs are important to promotes even cooling and enhances structural integrity of the part.
Small distance between ribs detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — actual distance between ribs
- — actual nominal thickness
- — expected minimum distance between ribs to nominal thickness ratio
How MTK detects small distances between ribs
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for small distances between ribs. 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 ribs DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
