Description

Checks the quality of 3D elements (welds) created by realizing connector entity (CE). It places all failed connectors on an output mark and highlights them.

Inputs

ce_inmark: Mark of displayed connectors.
entities: Only quality checks for Elements are now supported.
outputmark: All connectors that contain FE (welds) that failed quality check criteria are placed on this mark. Mark only connectors.
length_flag: Check if the length of FE (welds) exceeds a certain value specified by the length parameter.; 1 - turned on
length: The value of the length of the weld that should not be exceeded. Used in conjunction with length_flag.
jacobian_flag: Check if the Jacobian of the FE (3D welds) exceeds the value specified by the jacobian parameter.; 1 - turned on
jacobian: The value of the Jacobian of the 3D weld that should not be exceeded. Used in conjunction with jacobian_flag.

Examples

To check all the quality options of FE (3D weld elements) in a realized connector with IDs 1, 2, and 3. Let the value of length be 3.0 and the jacobian value be 0.7. The failed connectors are placed on mark 2 and highlighted.
