… is a user group founded by companies BSH, KBA and MTU Aero Engines AG with cooperation of addPLM (Mr. Feuerstein).

The Utility is developed and maintained by Mr. Bernd Schieber (SPLM Stuttgart).

It is extracting detailed NX geometrical and non-geometrical data from NX Parts to a comparable XML File.

This user group is growing, counting more than 10 members at the moment.

Discussion

MTU has to keep the verifiable ability

to ensure immutability of „NX Product Definition“

also for the future (LOTAR EN 9300).

Siemens Strategy for customers QA/QC Quality Assurance/Control

+ feature versioning

+ retained dimensions

- refile => part_utility

- retirement of part_utility switches

+/- …

Will Siemens provide tools for QA/QC Quality Assurance/Control to customers?

- Checking Tool from Siemens CheckBox (also for PMI in the future)

- Getting enhancements for part_utility (e.i. needed switches undo, dryrun, …)

PLMJobManager & CheckBox

PLMJobManager Compare NX Data via CheckBox

Presentation created by Josef Feuerstein 09.10.2010

01-QuickInfo



Introduction – initial situation

The goal:

Developing of a tool that answers the following question:

Are the data in the new version

the same as in the old version?

The following slides show you the concept on how to check the data in a save

way with the help of the NX - CheckBox and the PLMJobManager.



Introduction CheckBox Process Overview

JobClient - 3TC-DB

Step 1: Extraction NX8.5 Data

Result: extracted NX8.5

Data

JobClient - 3TC-DB

Step 2: Extraction NX12 Data

Result: extracted NX12 Data

JobClient - 3

Result: NX8.5-12 Analyze Data

Tools+Step 3: Generate Analyze Data

How is CheckBox working?



Introduction CheckBox Data Extraction

After extracting CheckBox Data the CB.Log files is analysed an the results are listed

as partial Results. The following list shows how we do classify the CheckBox

extraction Results.

- PL = Part load- UF = Update all Feature- UD = Update Drawing- PH = Part Header - MD = Model Data- AS = Assembly Data - DR = Drawing Data- EN = Entity- CBXml = CB.Data File (xml)- CGM = Drawing .cgm Files

The results of extracting data is imported into

the JobServer Database.



Compare → having

Differences?

Create extended Data:

-DifReport.txt

-Dif.tif

Result is an Error:

In this case it is

required to Check

what is the reason for

this differences

Result Is OK

YES NO

Introduction CheckBox Compare Data



Introduction CheckBox Analyze Data Compare Drawings

Merge.tif

CheckBox extracts CGM files from specifications. These

CGM files are used to create output data.

NX12.cgm

NX8.5.cgm

This method was developed

by Thomas Körner from B/S/H.

From this file we extract the

PPM (Parts per Million) value

which shows if drawings have

differences.

The Merge.tif image file is also be

used to see quick differences

between drawings.



Examples



CheckBox Basics

- Config and CheckBox Settings

- Process- Statistic - Status

Check ‘-Single Parts-’ ‘-Assembly Parts-’

- Partheader compare

- Parts cannot be open in NX11 (#New 24.03.2017)

Check ‘-Single Parts-’ (SP)

- Model compare

- Drawing compare

Check ‘-Assembly Parts-’ (AP)

- Model compare

- Drawing compare

- Assembly compare

Miscellaneous

- Additional findings



16.03.2017 – SP: ERR:Refset.Vol,SolBod.Volume.Diff:>0.0001

Example: ****.XXX_AA_master

More cases please see: Question: Is it required to

put down the tolerances?

No issue after fixing edge blend (17)



07.03.2017 – Issue Refset.Volume Refset:Entire Part

Example: ****.XXXX_vc_master

Issue: Volume in Refest Model

differs!!

Posible Reason:

More SolidBodys are evaluatet in

NX11

More cases please see:An extrude feature fails in NX 9 when the part is updated

using Feature Playback. NX 11 has no failure. In fact

Improvement in NX



16.03.2017 – SP: ERR:Refset.Vol,SolBod.Volume.Diff:>0.0001

Example: ****.XXXX_AA_master

Analyse:

Part is quit complex and has no Issues in Drawings

IR 8818538

No issue if accuracy is increased



CheckBox Basics

- Config and CheckBox Settings

15.03.2017 – Compare SP Drawing / Dimension Issue

Example: ****.xxxx_specification_110-001-01

Analyse:

Issue Labels are Moving in NX11More cases please see:

NX9

NX110-0111MP01

No issue if the assy is refiled in NX 9 first

and then in NX11




Example: ****.xxxx_specification_110-001-01

Analyse:

Dim Value unkow waths right?

More cases please see:

Example: ****.xxxx_AA_specification_110-001-02

Analyse:

Workaround: Version-up the drawing

Introduction CheckBox Involved Company’s

The CheckBox Software is developed by Mr, Bernd Schieber (SISW Stuttgart).Software specification, project coordination and PLMJobManager integration was done by Mr. Josef Feuerstein (addPLM)

All Company's did spend 3 Day’s of Services to SISW.

At the Meeting (on 28.04.2010) the participants‘ agreed that it is possible for another company to join this Project. To take part in this Project the new company has also to spend 3 Day’s of Services on this project.Info: The PLMJobManager Software is a separated Software and is not Part of the CheckBox Tool.
