Regarding Examine Geometry Analysis (Urgent)

[Amar005]

Hello All,

When I perform the examine geometry analysis for the part it shows the error only in tolerance zone.
I have created the part by using surfacing commands and then sew all surfaces.
In modeling by default distance tolerance is .001.

When I performed check it shows information as follows.

****(Edge Tolerances - Tolerance = 0.001000000

Edges exceeding specified tolerance = 4
Maximum edge tolerance found = 0.002000000)****

I think in order to pass this test I have to edit EDGE Tolerance.

Can anyone know how to change edge tolerance?
Please suggest your thoughts on this.
Its urgent.I have to submit test report to Client.

Thank you
Have a nice day
Amar Halake

If you're asking how to change the 'tolerance' used on an existing 'sewn' surface, perform an Edit on the 'Sew' feature and in the section of the Edit dialog titled 'Settings', edit the 'tolerance' value you find there.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hello John,

Thanks for quick reply.
I have edited tolerance value then also it shows same error.

Is there any EDGE specific tolerance value?
Can we set the value before start of model or any customer default setting?

Thanks

Hello All,

We have an assembly with 20 subassemblies and total 250 parts.We have to modify some parts.
We are facing problems for searching particular part.
Can anyone knows-
How to perform part search in assembly navigator?
Please suggest.

Have a nice day.
Regards,

What does this have to do with 'Examine Geometry'?

If you wish to ask a new question, start a new thread!

Hello John,

By mistake I have put this into same thread.

I have created new thread for this.

Sorry for inconvience.

Have a nice day.

Hi
Set your modeling tolerance (prefences)to better than the sew tolerance. You will probably have to recreate the effected surfaces

Also, if your maximum model tolerance is 0.001, then you probably need to model at a tighter tolerance than you're using.

Under 0.005 using Examine Geometry should be good enough for your customer unless you're making very, very small parts, like Swiss watch components.

If you have some very small features, either intentional or unintentional, you may get an error using examine geometery. If this is the case edit the tolerance value in the examine geometry dialog box.

I have had to use .0001 frequently and several times .000001 for this value.

Now, if your part should not have such small features, you need to find where they exist and why.

BTW: GTAC says this type of "error" does not mean there is a defect in the solid body.

Try running you model through the...

File -> Export -> Heal Geometry...

...utility. Note that this will produce a new part file which will contain the 'fixed' model, but it will be unparameterized.
