Explanation on the XML sections:

  • All sections ending with INFO, WARNINGS or INFORMATION, in the end do not affect the part's verification state. These entries primarily contain information which can help for the modeling process.

  • Section FUNDAMENTAL_ERRORS contains entries which indicate violations of the ECAD data model; such parts are automatically not certified.

  • Section PREMIUM_VIOLATIONS contains entries which prevent the part from achieving the Premium state.

  • Section CERTIFIED_VIOLATIONS contains entries which prevent the part from achieving the Certified state.

  • Section BASIC_VIOLATIONS contains all entries indicating serious errors in modelling; for such parts, normally a successful export to different ECAD systems is not ensured.
