Intersect

Intersect checks provide information in Power Point reports on all the inter-part intersection/overlapping in the CAD parts.

Once the model is done with the Intersection check, the tool locates the point of intersection as a cross-hair and summarizes all the intersections found in the PowerPoint report.

  1. In the Comparisonブラウザ, right-click and select Check > Intersect from the コンテキストメニュー.
    The Intersection dialog opens.
  2. Select Import Type for Base Model.
    • XML (PLMXML or UDMXML)
    • Assembly (CAD assembly files: UG Assembly, CATProduct, JT Assembly…)
    • CAD (Refer Config / CAD files)
    • FE (nastran, pam, radioss, abaqus, optistruct, hyperMesh)
    • Multiple Assembly (Multiple CAD assembly files)
    • Spot Files (Not applicable)
    • FE Files (direct file selection)
    • Mixed Import (folder contains CAD and FE files)
  3. Select a datatype.
    Respective data types will be listed.
  4. Click the folder icon and navigate to the model to import (Folder/File selections).
    The folder or the selected location must contain the spot weld file. The spot weld file type must be set in the config file.

  5. In the Allowance field, enter a value between 0.1 to 5mm to display unmatched entities.
  6. In the Report Path field, navigate to the directory where the reports generated by the Model Verification tool will be stored.
  7. In the Project Name field, enter a name for the project.
  8. In the Slide Number field, enter a starting number of the slides to use in the PowerPoint report.
  9. Choose a method for running the model.
    • Choose Interactive to run the model in the same HyperWorks session.
    • Choose Background to launch a new HyperWorks session in batch mode.
  10. The Processes drop-down list becomes active when you select the Background option and it also depends on the processor.
    The Model Verification tool launches as many hmbatch processes selected.
    • Choose Check to execute only the comparison without the report generation.
    • Choose Report to generate only the Reports (Check executed previously).
    • Choose Both to perform the comparison report generation sequentially.
  11. Click Run to execute the function.
  12. Click Stop to stop the operation.
    This closes front and background HyperWorks sessions.
  13. Click View Report to display the Summary PowerPoint report.
