Evaluate palette

Topics in this section

Evaluate > Continuity > Surface Continuity
Checks the positional, tangent plane, and curvature continuity between and inside surfaces.
Evaluate > Continuity > Curve Continuity
Checks the position, tangent, or curvature continuity between curves, and displays a locator showing the deviation.
Evaluate > Surface Evaluate > Highlights
Creates curves-on-surface corresponding to highlight lines produced by light sources.
Evaluate > Surface Evaluate > Curvature
Creates curves-on-surface along lines of constant curvature.
Evaluate > Surface Evaluate > Contour
Creates curves-on-surface from a single-plane cross-section.
Evaluate > Surface Evaluate > Horizon
Produces curves-on-surface from horizon lines as seen from a point in space or from a direction.
Evaluate > Dynamic Section
View a cross section of surfaces or meshes by dragging a plane through the model.
Evaluate > Min/Max Curvature
Displays the points with minimum and maximum curvature on a surface or a set of surfaces.
Evaluate > Mass Properties
Displays the mass properties (volume, surface area, centroid) of the model.
Evaluate > Check Model
Checks all, visible, or picked objects for common problems that could prevent data transfer.
Evaluate > Deviation Map
Shows the deviation (distance) between a set of meshes and a set of NURBS surfaces as a colored error map on the surfaces. Can also show the deviation between two sets of surfaces, or two sets of meshes.
Evaluate > Contact Analysis
Analyzes the safely of a model.
Evaluate > Dynamic Measurement
Quickly measures distances.
Evaluate > Pedestrian Protection
Provides the ability to evaluate pedestrian impact with a car hood.
