Thickness

[venkateshraja]

Is there any variable the control the default lower limit thickness? I want a plate of length and width of 18 meters, and extrude it to a thickness of 47 milli meters,


(That is .047 meters), Is it posibble, Im using WF2.0

venkateshraja,


I do'nt clearly get your point why you want to havethe default lower thickness be changed in WF2.0?, because you can create the platein extrusion by just inputing the desired thickness, in WF2.o the minimum thickness that you can make is .02 millimeter soi do'nt see any problem with your plate's 47 millimeters thickness.

Dunnow bout WF2 but 2001 says it can make an 18 meter square plate to a minimum of 5.6 millimeter.

Thax 4 ur sugesstion, I'll try and get back to u.

Edit-Setup-Accuracy. Enter a smaller value.


This controls the relations between the part resolution on screen and the physical model size.


Check out PTC's TPI32869 for more information on accuracy.

Its not 47mm, Actually its .47 mm thick plate, with length and breadth of 18 m, Can any one clarify me?

venkateshraja,


I do'nt know why you can't make a plate in WF2.0 with 18 meters in length, 18 meters wide and .47mm thick? When i try to create the plate i was able to create with a minimun .02mm thick far more thinner than your .47mm thickness.

venkateshraja,


If you still can't make the plate in WF2.0 try adding this to your config accuracy_lower_bound and set the value to 0.000001 hope it helps.

When I created a plate 18000 mm by 18000 mm by .47 mm it failed with the default accuracy. I increased the relative accuracy from .0012 to .0001 and it worked. At that accuracy the smallest thickness it will allow is .4242 mm. Changing to absolute accuracy, the smallest value it would take is .2121 and at that setting the smallest thickness was still .4242 mm.

To go any thinner, the accuracy lower bound has to be changed with the config.pro setting:

accuracy_lower_bound <value> (between 1.0e-6 and 1.0e-4)

Enter an accuracy value to override the default lower limit of 0.0001. the upper limit is fixed at 0.01.

Thx for your kind suggestion Mr. Gallup and Mr. Jayuy
