Verify Model

Purpose

To get a smooth and correct transition from Structural to Detail Design, using the Block Splitting function, it is essential that the model is correctly defined regarding all topological dependencies. This function verifies that this is the case, otherwise warning messages are issued.

Prerequisites

None.

Instructions

Any number of Blocks and Panels can be selected via the function dialog. The Verify operation is executed via the Job Launcher where the results of this operation can be obtained.

Options

Not available.

Result

The model is checked and warnings are presented in cases where there is a need for actions to get a correct model. Below are given as examples of warnings and recommended actions to be performed:

The name QF9801-LB8700A1__3 may be too long. Should be maximum 17 characters

A panel name can be at the most 19 characters as a prefix (two characters) are added to create for example, a topology object. Suffixes are used in for example, block divide when creating new panels (at least two characters) and then the objects on PLDB and PROFDB are derived from the panel name. If it is over 17 characters there is a small risk that the maximum length will be exceeded, but over 19 there is a greater risk for for example, a stiffener on a bracket on a panel as a profile object. If the panel name is longer than 19 characters it should be renamed.

Panel QF9801-T214A2, boundary -! CAT-object does not exist

One of the objects referred to from the boundary definition does not exist. It may be a curve object or another panel. Make sure the correct CGDB is used. Make sure that referred objects have not been deleted after panel generation.

Panel QF9801-TMT213A2, boundary -! The outer contour could not be recreated with notches/cutouts

The outer contour including cutout geometry can not be created. It may be that the profiles referred to are no longer intersected by the current panel or they do not exist any more. Generate the panel interactively to check the cutout definition.

Panel QF9602-TG215F1, missing topology object!

The topology object corresponding to the given panel does not exist in the topology databank connected. Make sure the correct REFDB is used. Update the topology database with the utility program sj903.

Panel QF9801-TBA213D2, bracket group #7 -> object QF9602-L6300A2__1 - missing in topology object for QF9801-TBA213D2!

The panel has a bracket referring another object, but the reference is not noted in the topology object of this panel. Generate and store the panel to update the topology object.

Panel QF9801-TG207A2, boundary group #3 -> object QF9800-TBA201D2, flange group #5 - invalid reference in topology object for QF9801-TG207A2!

The topology object contains a reference that does not exist in the panel. Generate and store the panel to update the topology object.
