Enables you to set up graphic views of the processed data, view descriptions of resulting differences, and then generate reports on the differences. The Add, Remove, Highlight, and Fit options work within graphic views so that you can run the utility interactively with Smart 3D.

Results Display in Graphic Views

To indicate the results in graphics views and list views, the MDR Validation tool provides specific color codes for source and destination objects.

Successful transformation

To indicate a successful transformation of objects in a graphic view:

  • Source objects display in green and the destination objects display in black.

  • Sub-objects (features/connections, nozzles, and support parts, for example) in the source object display in blue; destination sub-objects display in yellow.

  • List Views containing the compared data of the objects show the status by:

    • All data matches display in blue text.

    • The Differences table at the bottom will be empty.

    • There is no black text if the transformation is successful.

Transformation of the source object fails

  • Source objects display in green, but the object does not exist in the destination and is not shown.

Transformation of the source object is completed, but the destination object did not transform as expected.

  • Source objects display in green and the destination objects display in black in the graphic view.

  • List Views containing the compared data of the objects show the status by:

    • Some data matches display in magenta.

    • The Differences table at the bottom will show expected data versus actual data for the destination object.

    • Black text indicates one of the following:

      • Matching data/sub-objects were not found between the source and destination.

      • Source and destination object have attribute differences.

      • Destination object is not at the expected location.

    • The Differences table at the bottom will show expected data versus actual data for the destination object.

The steps below provide a general workflow in using options in the Validate MDR Results - Review Findings Dialog.

  1. Select ALL or a specific category of objects.

  2. Click Setup Views. For model data reuse comparisons within the same session file, the utility generates four graphic views. Two graphic views are generated from an objects list comparison.

    When the source and destination are within the same model, the top graphic views represent the source and the bottom views represent the destination.

  3. Click the scroll buttons to see each object available in the selected category. As you scroll through the objects, they are displayed in the graphic views in Smart 3D.

  4. You can clear, add or remove each object from your Smart 3D selection set.

  5. Select Highlight and Fit to better see the objects in graphics views. You can also use commands in Smart 3D to further manipulate objects in the graphic views.

  6. Click Show Details to get more in-depth descriptions of changes or anomalies that were found.

    • Select an object in the Validate MDR Results - Review Findings Dialog. Click on any window or element in Smart 3D to get the focus and press CTRL+T to open the To Do List dialog box. Click Filter To Do List by Select Set to see if any selected objects have a To Do record.

    • As you move through the list views in the Compared Data section of the Validate MDR Results - Review Findings Dialog, the cursor automatically selects each related source and destination object. To prevent this and freely scroll down through the objects in the list views, press and hold the CTRL key.

  7. You can now generate a report or create discipline-specific folders to show data anomalies. Select Differences Only and then click Next.
