Advanced Geometric Comparison

Proprietary face-to-face geometric pattern matching analyzes the whole part definition within the user controlled tolerance. This strategy reliably finds the differences across all precise CAD models without the common failures and false positives of the Boolean approach, or missed areas inherent with the sampling of points approach. 

Boeing D6-51991 Compliance

This is Boeings quality system requirement for Aerospace suppliers with sections that require translated CAD data to be validated for quality system compliance.

Distance Measurements

Measure the distance between entities, points, and positions and angles between two edges or faces, or 4 positions.

Assembly Comparison

A special mode for two sets of hierarchical CAD assembly files scans file names and headers and lists side-by-side results. Users can optionally geometrically compare a selected set of parts or launch processes to compare all parts. Quick side-by-side 3D graphical viewing is available to see differences in impacted parts.

Selective Comparison

When the authority or derivative files have extra data that is inconsequential to validation, a selective compare can be accomplished by choosing the data from each file for comparison.

Re-Orientation of Derivative

When the derivative data is in a different orientation than the authority data (typically for manufacturing setups), the derivative can be automatically or manually oriented to match the authority data before comparison.

Non-solid Derivative Files

When the software that is receiving a solid model of the design data can not output a solid model (some metrology software) the translation of the authority data is validated by outputting a point cloud that represents the measured points on the data. This point data is compared to the authority solid and surface data to perform the validation.

A similar approach is used to compare mesh data in STL derivative files to the precise authority data set (Premium level only). 

PMI Annotations

Compare semantic differences in Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) including 3D geometric tolerances from these formats:

Batch Comparison

Sets of authority and derivative files can be batch processed through the user interface or executed from the command line.
