The principal enhancement is section inspection, which now allows easier creation of sections, better visualisation and enhanced reporting. The improved options for section editing in PowerInspect 2016 include a slider that can be used to move the section through the part with real-time updating of the CAD view. A specific value for the section intersection can still be entered, if required.
In the CAD view, the default option highlights the section cut and displays a semi-transparent representation of the material in the foreground, while during section creation the shading is updated dynamically as the section moves through the model. Once the desired section has been chosen, the inspection path can be generated automatically.
