1. How can I
quickly detect small differences in part?
The 3D comparison is not always the best choice in
order to detect small differences in part. Also keep in mind to use
topological values and
the 2D comparison.
Exemplary initial
situation: You have conducted a Geometric Search (3D)
and loaded search part and one of the found parts into the part
comparison:
Tabular comparison and 3D comparison
Geometrical similarity: The percentage
value gives a first overview on the geometrical similarity between the
parts.
Preview
images in the 3D comparison:
It's hard to see the differences.
Topology -> Minor Dimension: Here, you can see at a
glance that the difference is only in the material thickness.
Tabular comparison and 2D
comparison
Also here, the
difference can be detected quickly.
