About this Block
What it does: Creates an angle field from an Implicit Body and a vector input to help you determine if your model needs support structures. Common uses:- Visualizing overhang angles and determining the need for support structures for additive manufacturing.
- Combine with the Overhang Constraint block in topology optimization.
