After a Warp analysis has been performed, it is possible to view the predicted warpage deflection for the model.
Note: This result does not show the actual magnitudes of deflection, only the shape that the part has adopted as a result of shrinkage differences within the part.
When assessing the warped shape of the part you should consider if the part as a whole, or just specific regions of the part has been deflected and will the warpage affect the functionality of the part (eg. assembly of mating parts).
- Select a warpage result from the Study Tasks pane.
- Click
() to incrementally advance the warpage visualisation.
Tip: If the deformed shape of the part is difficult to see:
- Click
(), and then select the Deflection tab. - Change the Scale Factor to a higher value.
- Click OK to apply the changes, and close the dialog. As you advance the warpage visualisation the deflection is now scaled up by the factor entered.
Review the Warpage Indicator plots to identify problem areas in the part and to diagnose the cause(s) of warpage.
