Process and generate data using the MDR log file - Intergraph Smart 3D - Administration & Configuration

To run the MDR Validation Tool, you must be connected to the model in which the MDR results are to be analyzed.

1. Click Tools > Custom Commands, and start the MDR Validation tool.

2. Select Model Data Reuse Log File, and browse to the log file associated to the current model.

3. To limit the comparison, select one or both of the analysis options.

   • Limit Analysis to Selected Objects

   • Limit Analysis to Selected Object Types

   If you select Limit Analysis to Selected Object Types, place a check mark beside each object type to use.

4. Set the Coordinate and Length Precision options, which enable you to control the precision of validation.

5. Click Generate Data For Validation.

6. When the data for validation gets generated, click Process Generated Data. You must select this command each time the data has been regenerated for any change in settings.

   The status bar displays progress messages when processing the data and also when the processing is completed.

7. Repeat steps 1-6 with a session open in the destination model if you have performed model data reuse across two different models.

   Progress messages display in the Smart 3D status bar. When the data generation for the source objects is completed, the status bar displays the message Generated Data for Source Objects. Similarly on the destination side, the message is Generated Data for Source Objects. If the model data reuse was performed within the same model, the message is Generated Data for Source and Destination Objects.

   Make sure that you use the same data generation options (Limit Analysis options, object types, and precision settings) for both source and destination data. Otherwise, you will not get accurate comparisons.

8. When the process is completed, you can review the results. Click Review Results. Select Differences Only to see only the differences that were found. See View results
