Statistics

You can view the clash statistics discipline-by-discipline at the Clash Manager Form.

Refer to Viewing Overview of Clash Data.

Run More Clash Sets

As the design of the Marine 3D model continues, you can extend the scope of the existing Clash Set and/or create more Clash Sets and run them, as outlined above.

Note:
If the normal process of reading desclash output files and post-processing the data and loading it into the Clash Manager database is interrupted or fails, the considerable time already spent running desclash need not be wasted. The entire set of desclash output files may be loaded, replacing any partially loaded. Alternatively, selected files may be merged into the results of the last Clash Run. These actions are initiated by the 'Load Clash File' button on the Clash Manager Options Form - Advanced Tab.

Refer to Advanced Tasks.

Recomputation

The actions at the Clash Manager Configuration Form described in the previous steps, in general, would not be repeated. However, if significant changes have to be made at this form, recomputation must be performed at the Clash Manager - Clash Recomputation Form, which, in these circumstances, is automatically displayed.

When changes are made to the Marine Model, it is necessary either to perform Clash Recomputation or to re-run all affected Clash Sets, in order to update Clash Manager data. The Clash Manager - Clash Recomputation Form is not automatically displayed following a change in Marine, and must be accessed manually to enable recomputation to be performed.

Refer to Advanced Tasks.

Track Changes

As more Clash Sets are run, the statistics displayed at the Clash Manager Form apply to the combination of all Clash Sets. This information, applicable to the current date, can be stored as a 'Milestone' for future reference in determining the progress made on the project. The creation of the Milestone is by selecting 'Track Changes' at the Clash Manager Options Form - Advanced Tab. Milestones can be created, as required.

Refer to Advanced Tasks.

Continuing Tasks

1. The appropriate tasks are repeated until all clashes are resolved.

2. As required, make use of the facilities for automatic overnight operations of Running a Clash Set or Tracking Changes.

3. Refer to Command Line Interfaces - Clash Manager Functions.

4. Report on the Project-wide Clash Status by your preferred method.
