● Field "Start object":
A link to one of the following base objects:
–
Pipe part from the pipe part catalog
– Structure object from the pipe part catalog
– Pipe spec element
– Pipe spec
If there are no base objects underneath the start object, the start object is analyzed. 
If there are more base objects underneath the start object, they are analyzed recursively.
● "Unit location" field:
– Link to an engineering object of the "Device" system type whose creation mode is "Free" 
and which has the "Coordinate system definition" tab
– Optional
– Requirement: "Create 3D" option is activated.
– The 3D objects generated are created underneath the object linked here.
● "Error geometry" field:
– Link to a 3D base object
– Optional
– Requirement: The "Create 3D" option is activated and the "Unit location" reference is 
set.
– For objects whose geometry could not be calculated or could not be calculated correctly, 
3D objects are generated with the base object linked here.
● "Create 3D" option:
– Optional
– Requirement: "Unit location" reference is set.
– Active: 3D objects are created for all objects, even objects whose geometry was not 
calculated correctly. The 3D objects can be displayed in the Viper 3D Editor.
● "Invalid only" option:
– Optional
– Requirement: "Create 3D" option is activated.
– Active: 3D objects are only created for the objects whose geometry could not be 
calculated correctly.
● "Start analysis" button:
Starts the analysis. Data is written to the results table even while the analysis is still in 
progress.
● "Cancel" button:
Cancels the analysis.
