Angle Between to Surfaces

[Tinyfxds]

How would I go about finding the angle between two surfaces or the angle between to faces on a solid?  I know if I use "Analyze Dynamic" that I can click on one surface and it will give me the angle of that one surface/face, but I don't think you can analyze two entities in "Analyze Dynamic".  What say you forum members?

If straight edges are involved, create curves and use a perpendicular plane, then Analyze Angle

 

 

Otherwise, a perpendicular plane, create curve slice, then Analyze Angle

[JayM]

If you are using X8 you can check the angle between two solid edges using Analyze > Angle

analyze angle has 2 options.

john mentioned the first (2 lines), although you don't need a perpindicular plane, there is a radio button for "3D". 

The 2nd is 3 points. (which also works in 3D)

 

If you're working with solids, you don't need any wireframe to use either method.

Could you just use analyze dynamic and take the difference between the two relative to a plane?

Well, well, well..... look what the electronic signal over many wires dragged in! How are  you enjoying your new home (USA)?

 

 

You can, but then you have to do the math....

Haha   -   well, the weather certainly is a lot nicer than Canada, and the food, grocery stores, gas prices, beer selection, ....    not having seasons kind of stinks though.   People are pretty nice in San Diego, but american banks won't give m a  $30k loan with zero credit history.. what gives?

 

Otherwise work is good so far - Taylor's a great place
