Small rib base radius DFM check
Small rib base radius overview
The small rib base radius issue refers to a situation where the base radius is too small compared to the wall thickness. Proper base radius value is required to minimize stress concentrations and mold ejection problems.
Small rib base radius detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — analyzed rib base radius
- — wall thickness
- — minimum rib base radius to wall thickness ratio
How MTK detects small rib base radii
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for small rib base radii. 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 rib base radius DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
