Visualising/ Mapping data on CAD model

I have a CAD model of a flat panel as well as the XRF thickness data of it.

I was wondering if I could import this model into matlab and plot the thickness distribution mapping (eg. Red for high thickness and blue fr low thickness) on the model. This thickness distribution visualisation of the panel would help greatly when presenting my findings.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello Luke

One of the possible ways to plot the colormap on CAD models is importing the model using the ‘importGeometry’ using STL file. Please refer to following documentation for more details:

As shown in the following documentation we can plot colormap using ‘pdeplot’:

This is may be possible workaround.
