Section interpretation
OSA search region
This viewer shows the region where the optimal profile will be found, bounded by the provided Min/Max OSA values and the selected design constraints.
3D Model Review
Block Model Viewer
Inspect the optimal profile block model and use the coloured bands to review different slope-angle zones.
03
Optimal profile block model
The coloured slope bands represent different slope-angle zones, helping review how the optimised profile varies across the 3D block model.
