PART
DEPTH
This function displays a contour plot showing the part depth of part relative to the binder. Different part depths are displayed in graduated colors on the die. Part depth is estimated with reference position at the first point of punch/die contact with the blank. When the die/punch is closed, the first point on the blank to contact with the punch is locked. The rest of the part will be measured from this point spreading outward.
·
UNDERCUT
This function displays a contour plot showing
regions in the die with undercut. Red indicates severe undercut where the
backdraft is less than 0º. Yellow indicates a marginal area with a draw angle
of approximately 0~3º. Green indicates a safe region with a draw angle that is
greater than 3º. The user can set the threshold for marginal and severe
backdraft. Click button to display a
dialog box as illustrated in Figure 7.1.58.

Once this option is selected, the
program displays a contour plot showing wall angle on
the die. Different wall angles are displayed in different colors. The user can
point the cursor to any node on the selected part and click on the left mouse
button to show the wall angle at this node, as illustrated in Figure 7.1.59.
