Topology

Purpose:

This function can be used to visualize the dependencies between model objects using the topology information using curved object as a basis. Given a model object both the objects defining it and the objects depending on it can be shown.

Furthermore the objects shown can be listed and activated (only curved objects). Once the activation is made, they can be for example, regenerated to adapt to any changes in the defining objects using the Recreate function described above.

Prerequisites:

None available.

Instructions:

Multiple objects can be given initially and the resulting objects can be used for a new search. This means that the dependencies can be visualized repeatedly, level-by-level. To benefit from this function the model must be created using topological references rather than pure coordinates whenever possible.

Options:

Using Options will bring up the Advanced selection dialog box.

Result:

The activation of panels can be made using the stored topology information of AVEVA Marine.
