Setting the nominal maximum deflection for the warpage indicator

When the Warp analysis has completed, you need to specify a reference plane for the assessment of warpage, and a nominal maximum deflection value, which is the desired maximum out-of-plane deflection in the part.

To set the nominal maximum deflection immediately after running a Warp analysis, apply the following steps.

1. On the Warp page of the Summary pane, which appears automatically at the end of the analysis, click the Warpage indicator, all effects link. The Warp Constraints dialog appears.
2. Define the anchor plane for the warpage assessment.
3. Accept the default maximum deflection value, or enter a specific value in the Nominal max. deflection text box.
4. Click Apply to calculate the Warpage Indicator results.
