How to use Sketch Analysis in CATIA V5
Sketch analysis is a great tool that solves sketch issues
-
Step 1: The tool is available within Sketcher Workbench
Sketch Solving Status:
This feature helps you understand the state of your sketch and identify any potential issues that might prevent it from being fully defined. Here's how to use it:
Create a sketch: Draw your desired geometry on a plane.
Access Sketch Solving Status: In the Sketcher toolbar, locate the "Sketch Solving Status" button (it looks like a puzzle piece).
Analyze the sketch: Clicking the button displays a window indicating the sketch's status, such as:
"Fully defined": The sketch is properly constrained and ready for further use.
"Under-defined": The sketch lacks enough constraints to be fully defined, potentially leading to geometric inconsistencies.
"Over-defined": The sketch has redundant constraints, which can cause issues during downstream operations.
