We use a program called 3D caliper when we do a wall thickness check on our parts. It will analyze an entire model in a few seconds. You set up our limits and it will report results that are outside the limits. It is really a handy little tool.
Your very welcome. You can set it up so that it is a drop down menu along the top of the screen. My only complaint about itis it will report distances across a corner. For example two corners with a round on the edge. It will report that as a thin wall. You can also export the analysis to an html or pdf file with pictures. It is a great tool to quickly see where you have thin wall conditions. We have made it standard practice to include this report on our machined parts from castings.
If you like I can send you an example of what a report looks like. Just send men an IM.
