Description

Checks the quality of 3D elements (welds) created by realizing connector entity (CE). It places all failed connectors on an output mark and highlights them.

Inputs

ce_inmark
Mark of displayed connectors.
entities
Only quality checks for Elements are now supported.
outputmark
All connectors that contain FE (welds) that failed quality check criteria are placed on this mark. Mark only connectors.
length_flag
Check if the length of FE (welds) exceeds a certain value specified by the length parameter.
1 - turned on
length
The value of the length of the weld that should not be exceeded. Used in conjunction with length_flag.
jacobian_flag
Check if the Jacobian of the FE (3D welds) exceeds the value specified by the jacobian parameter.
1 - turned on
jacobian
The value of the Jacobian of the 3D weld that should not be exceeded. Used in conjunction with jacobian_flag.

Examples

To check all the quality options of FE (3D weld elements) in a realized connector with IDs 1, 2, and 3. Let the value of length be 3.0 and the jacobian value be 0.7. The failed connectors are placed on mark 2 and highlighted.
