Where is the best spot on a part to set up the anchor plane.  After placing the 3 points the results can drastically change

Hi,
this is depends of course of part design, and how the result needs to be interpreted for the part design.

One have to consider the position of the anchor plane carefully when viewing warpage results.
Locate the plane across a flat part section where one can easily visualize the deflections, and where the implications of the deflections can be most clearly interpreted.

The possible locations for an anchor plane include the following:
- The base of a part that is required to lie flat on a surface.
- The joining plane to a mating component.
- The feet of the part.

Select the three points over a large area to define an easily visualized reference plane.

If the three points are close, smaller area, the results can change drastically.

Keep in mind: the warp analysis result is the same for the part - using anchor plane is another way to plot and view the result.
