|
This task depicts how analyses are bound to
tracks and how are the analyses used. |
|
Open the
ANALYZE_TRACKS.CATProduct document. A track is already defined on the
DEMO_CGE_CHAINSAW_BODY_TANK_RSIDE.1 object and interferences specifications
are also defined in your document. |
|
-
In the specification tree or in the geometry area,
double-click Track.1.
-
In the Track dialog box, click the
Activate Analysis
button to display the analysis list.
|
|
This button is unavailable if there are no analyses
(interferences or distances) defined in your document. |
|
|
|
Even when the button is unavailable, you can still
perform automatic clash detection (without defining a clash
specification). To do so:
-
Select your track.
-
Select the arrow within Clash Detection (Off)
from the DMU Check toolbar. Undock the toolbar if
necessary.
Clash Mode
|
-
Activate Clash Detection (On
or Stop
modes), then simulate your track.
The Activate Analysis dialog is displayed.
|
-
Select the analysis object
desired.
When selected, the values for the analysis functions appear. |
|
-
(Optional) Click on the values under each option to alter
the values.
The table below shows the values for the different
options. |
Option |
Value |
Effect |
Activated |
Yes |
(default) The analysis object should be
checked. |
No |
The analysis object will not be checked.
If this option is set to No, the values of the options will not
take effect. |
State |
Off |
Turns off analysis object. If the option is set to off,
the values of the other options will not take effect. |
On |
Turns on analysis object. Highlights data that is in
violation. |
Verbose |
Turns on analysis object. Provides feedback regarding the
analysis object to an analysis information window throughout
track creation. |
Stop |
(default) Turns on analysis object. Stops track creation when
a violation occurs; also, provides feedback regarding the
analysis object to an analysis information window throughout
track creation. |
Monitor |
Off |
(default) The Analysis
Monitor window will not appear. |
On |
The Analysis Monitor window will appear. |
|
|
Read More about clash detection in
track context to better understand the combination of the
analyses states and the clash detection modes. |
-
|
-
|
-
When satisfied with the fields within the Activate Analysis
dialog box (i.e., keep the default State Stop
and the default Monitor option Off), click
OK.
A Dynamic clash detection information message
displays, letting you activate automatic clash detection |
|
-
Select Yes to activate the clash detection.
The Stop
mode is automatically activated. |
-
Select the Play forward
button in the Player.
-
Click the Activate Analysis
button to bring
up the Activate Analysis dialog box, and then set the
State to Verbose and Monitor to On.
As you create a track for the object, the
Analysis Information and Analysis Monitor dialog
boxes
provide feedback data on the track. The type of feedback
provided depends on the analysis object selected. The
Analysis Monitor dialog box provides the outcome of the analysis. It
is most useful when a user has many analysis objects. The
Analysis Information dialog box provides detailed information
regarding analysis information throughout the simulation.
Because the Analysis Information dialog box provides so much
information, users often rely on the Filter option. |
|
|
|
The Analysis Information and Analysis Monitor
windows remain on display but inactive when you click OK
on the Track dialog box. |
|
You can choose use the Filter button to hide/show
messages. By default, all may appear. Deselecting one or
more categories causes messages with those categories not to
appear. Once you have selected the message categories that
should not appear, select the OK button. |
|
|
-
Double-click on the INFO line in the
Analysis Information dialog box.
A Preview window appears. |
|
The Edit Distance and Band Analysis dialog box also
appears. (It may initially appear behind the Preview
window. It and the Analysis Information windows are
inactive. Click on the Edit Distance and Band Analysis
dialog box to make it active.) |
|
-
Select the Play forward
button in the Player.
Clash information appears on the Analysis Information
dialog box and the Preview window shows the distance
alterations dynamically. |
|
-
Click the Cancel button on the Edit
Distance and Band Analysis dialog box.
The dialog box and the Preview window disappear. |
-
Double-click on a Warning line in the
Analysis Information dialog box.
A new Preview window and the Check
Clash dialog box appear. |
|
|
For more information on the Check Clash dialog box,
see the DMU Space Analysis User's Guide. |

More About Clash Detection in
Track Context
|
|
|
|
If clash detection mode is set to Off
(default) and analyses are activated and set to On, there is no
calculation. |
|
Example: You have a track containing two
interferences (see Activated, above).
- Interference 1 is set to Stop
- Interference 2 is set to On
- Clash detection mode selected:
(Stop mode).
You simulate your track, the track is stopped when interference 1 is
detected, interference 2 is calculated and displayed, but does not stop the
track simulation. |
