Deviation Analysis PropertyManager

Colored mesh displays or colored spines show the deviation. Hover over the deviation for specific deviation values. You can save a detailed deviation report.

Analysis Type

	Surface to mesh deviation	A colored display on the mesh shows the deviation between the extracted surface and the mesh. For each vertex in the mesh, the software calculates the closest point normal to the surface.
	Curve to mesh deviation	Colored spines along the curve show the deviation between sample points on the curve and the projected points on the mesh.
	Mesh to mesh deviation	Make an original mesh to use as a reference to create another working mesh. Measure back to the original mesh to ensure the working mesh remains within tolerance.

Analysis Parameters

	Mesh or sub-mesh	Select the mesh to which you are analyzing the deviation.
, ,	Surfaces, Curves, Source mesh or submesh	Select the entities from which you are analyzing the deviation to the selected Mesh or sub-mesh.
	Sensitivity	Sets the number of sample points used. For curves, it also controls the number of spines displayed.
	Upper bound	Sets the upper deviation boundary.
	Lower bound	(not available for Curve to mesh deviation.) Sets the lower deviation boundary.
	Calculate	Displays the deviation analysis.
	Report	Saves a deviation analysis report as a .txt file.

Deviation Analysis

Set the colors used for the deviation analysis display. The software plots the values between the upper and lower bounds in continuously changing colors. Values above and below the bounds are plotted in a single color.
