Model Verification

New Features

Manufacturing Check
The Manufacturing Check option has been added to the Verification Browser. Manufacturing Check detects the following issues on sheet metal CAD parts:
  • Nut bolt seating surface
  • Stud seating surface
  • Electrode interference
  • Spot weld surface area
  • Spot weld pitch
  • Spot gun interference
  • Arc weld torch interference
  • Fillet radius
  • Trim line radius
  • Hole pitch
  • Hole size
  • Hole size of nut bolt
  • Corner radius of oblong designed hole
  • Distance trim line hole end
  • Part interference
The detected issues are summarized in a PowerPoint file.

Enhancements

  • Support for 3DXML data in all functions.
  • You can now read material, thickness, and weight from 3DXML data.
  • "Import ANSA comments" can be controlled from a configuration.
  • Select "ON/OFF all" simultaneously checks items in the configuration file (spot weld, connection, and manufacturing checks).
  • Material ID or Name is now displayed in the Comparison Excel report.
  • Assembly image slides for 0-30, 30-90, and 90-100% are added to see all the partial, unmatched assembly images.
  • Partial Meshing Patch Area% is now configurable with a configuration file.
  • The Comparison "AI-approach" option is improved to find the closest part first, followed by the surrounding parts.
  • The Model Build function extracts a connector from stud and NUT CAD data, similar to bolt.
  • The MBLD Match function aggregates a 3D solid from a base surface if it is in a single part.

Resolved Issues

  • Comparison for multiple variant parts points to the same source in the comparison.
  • Comparison Report button: Click opens an old PowerPoint report.
  • Comparison in partial mesh: Free edges were seen in the partial mesh output.
  • Comparison in partial mesh: Session occasionally becomes unresponsive during a partial mesh.
  • Python file: Error appears in a network installation.
  • User profile: Sets the correct profile for comparison for the selected FE input file.
