12.5 Nominal-diameter-dependent check of the geometry
12.5.1
Workflow
Procedure
To check for one or more pipe parts the nominal diameters in which the geometry of the objects
is calculated correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Open the plugin "Error analysis 3D objects" and change to the "Bulk analysis" tab.
2. Click on the "Base objects" tab in the Navigator and select the base object you wish to
analyze.
The following base objects are permitted:
– A pipe part from the pipe part catalog
– A structure object from the pipe part catalog
Example: The structure object underneath which the welded pipes are located
– A pipe spec element
– A pipe spec
3. Drag&drop the base object to the "Start object" field.
4. Optional: To view the geometry in the 3D view following the analysis, make the following
settings:
– In the Navigator, click on the "Units" tab and select the object underneath which the 3D
objects are to be created.
Requirement: The object has the "Coordinate system definition" tab.
– Drag&drop the object to the "Unit location" field.
– Activate the "Create 3D" option.
5. Optional: Define which base object is used for pipe parts whose geometry is not calculated
correctly.
– Requirement: The "Create 3D" option is activated and the "Unit location" reference is
set.
– Click on the "Base object" tab in the Navigator and select the base object to be used as
the template.
– Drag&drop the object to the "Error geometry" field.
6. Optional: If you only want 3D objects to be created for pipe parts whose geometry is not
calculated correctly, activate the "Invalid only" option.
7. Click the "Start analysis" button.
