thickness & adaptivity the thickness docid tcpiwy80 ss1hxvrjwxq feature is a visualization and measurement tool to inform cell size selection hovering over the points quickly provides dimensional data this can be used on its own or in conjunction with the adaptivity docid\ brvmow6lohbp06yia5n0k tool the adaptivity tool analyzes the thickness data against a maximum cell size to advise on cell size in small feature areas hovering over the analysis points quickly provides suggested cell sizes thickness & adaptivity workflow video text start with thickness select input mesh click generate click thickness to view hover over points to view thickness select adaptivity select thickness results select a maximum cell size optionally choose a minimum cell size click generate hide thickness points click cell size adaptivity to view hover over adaptivity points to view suggested cell size how thickness & adaptivity work how thickness works the thickness feature reads the depth from a given point via a 30 degree cone the result is a median measurement of depths within that cone what thickness results show thickness provides points across the surface of the part, ranging in color from light light to dark blue dark blue each point registers a measurement across the depth of the part at that point light blue light blue indicates the smaller depths, ranging to dark blue dark blue for the larger depths adaptivity from thickness the adaptivity feature analyzes thickness measurements and compares that data against a maximum cell size suggested cell sizes are provided where the thickness may not work well with the maximum cell size if no points are revealed in the analysis result, then no problematic areas were found and therefore no suggestions are provided
