Histogram on Thickness diagnostic (DD) and/or Dimensional Diag (3D) as a result

[Lorena.Rivas]

Hi Community!

Im looking a way to have a Histogram over a Wall Thickness results.

My initial idea was:

• Create a Thickness Plot:  "calc wall_thickness:mm @diag:thck:0:5)"
• Check histogram over the new result.

But it didn't work, I have the result but Histogram its not available.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advanced,

Hello @Lorena.Rivas ,

I have a Thickness script as well as a Histogram script.  I can get the workflow to work however the Histogram script will only create a ppt with 2 images (one of them shown below).

Please let me know if this will work for you and I can send via email.

Hi @mason.myers ,
script gives the thickness plot but not able to examine the thickness in 2025 version.

Hello @adevadkar ,

I have noticed the same in 2025.  You can also use the command line and type in the following:

calc “Thickness:millimeter” “@diag:thck:0:3.5”

This would create a thickness plot with a range of 0 - 3.5 millimeters.  Examine feature works here.

Hi,
the underlying reason for script thplot thickness result not working for Examine in 2025 is that nodal averaged is set to false.

Turning nodal averaged on for the plot, check it in plot properties and tab Optional Settings, Examine will work.

calc “Thickness:millimeter” “@diag:thck:0:3.5”
plot result has nodal averaged on by default, hence Examine works.
(Turning nodal averaged off, uncheck it in plot properties and tab Optional Settings - Examine will not work).

You could change this in thplot script where you have row (close to end of script):
Plot.SetNodalAveraging False
to
'Plot.SetNodalAveraging False ' * facetted - Examine does not work in 2025
Plot.SetNodalAveraging True ' * smooth - Examine works

I think it should be possible to Examine plot with nodal averaged turned off.

Have noticed Adsk tech support about this.

Hope this helps.
