Import Log Files

In order to minimize the size of log files, especially when large models are being compared the user can ask the interface to output Verbose or Brief log files.

Brief Format

In Brief log files, details of the comparison will be condensed onto a single line per item. This will be in the form of the following:

Linear Members

Linear members are either straight or curved. Modifications to straight members are detailed as below

LINMEM <ID> <state> <point> <size> <material> <rotation> <start> <end>

for example:

LINMEM =1234/5678 C Y Y Y N Y Y

The ID field will contain the internal database reference number by which the model components are to be identified between model versions. The state field may contain one of three options, A for added, D for deleted or C for changed. The other fields contain either a Y or N indicating whether the attribute at that location has been changed or not.

For curved members the member type is CURMEM but the attributes inspected for comparison are the same. The individual internal points along the SPINE are not compared.

Plates

PLATE <ID> <state> <point> <height> <material> <pos> <ori> <vertexCount> <changedVertex>

The rules for values in each of the above fields are as for the Linear Members.

Note that holes themselves are not compared. This is principally because the transfer is incomplete anyway. The interface only transfers PLOO and NXTR based penetrations. No other negative primitives can be transferred at the moment.

Below is a sample portion of log file in brief format following an Import:
