7.22.2.  Test part

Test part checks the part integrity, to ensure a faultless export to the different CAD systems.

If, in the course of the test run, problems arise, this is directly documented in the 3D view of the part (see figure).

[Note]Note

The geometry is checked in Testmeta as well, but till then often more geometry has been referenced on this faulty one. Then the time exposure for the correction is considerable.

So it is recommended to check the geometry after each sketch and extrusion or cut.

Also check variants after each adding. (Actually just a line change is sufficient in order to see if the geometry is stable. Possibly the closed contours dissolve due to incorrect trimming.)

  1. Click on Test part.

    -> The dialog box Settings for the geometry check is opened.

  2. Please select the appropriate template. In this way Minimum feature size and Relative feature size are set.

    Mechanical engineering parts may not be tested with the setting Architecture, for example. In contrast, BIM parts must be tested with Architecture, so that export problems to Revit, for example, caused by features < 1,4 mm are avoided.

    • Mechanical engineering

    • Architecture (BIM/Architecture)

  3. Click OK.

    -> In the docking window Notifications, a respective note is displayed.

Also see Section 7.9.8, “Problem avoidance ”.
