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 6.1.47.
