Compares a sheet-body in a graphic view against a sheet-body from an existing .sat file.
Because the Geometry Analysis and Repair task modifies geometry data, it is often helpful to compare original and modified geometry to see if the changes are what you intended. You can control the granularity of the comparison, which generates temporary graphics to show the deviation.
How to Compare Data
-
Click Compare Data on the vertical toolbar.
-
Select a sheet-body in a graphic view.
-
Select a baseline sheet-body from an existing .sat file.
-
In the Points Per Face box, enter an integer between 5 and 25. This value is the number of sampling points generated per face of the baseline sheet-body.
-
In the Deviation Threshold box, enter a value to control the color of the graphical results. Sample points with a deviation less than this threshold appear in green, while those above the threshold appear in red.
-
In the Scale box, enter a value to control the scaling of the graphical results. The scale value can be any positive number.
