The data obtained in these analyses can be captured and generated into reports that feed multiple decision making processes. The power of the PPR architecture is that it permits easy revision of the simulation model based on the outcome of the analyses by permitting direct access to the data through the PPR tree. The value of Dynamic Clash was demonstrated in an earlier module. Now, with the Clash analysis functionality fully engaged, the clash information can be captured and generated into an XML report. Distance and Band analyses provide important information regarding part fit through the measurement of distances and graphical representation of the seed distance between two parts. Sectioning allows the user to" see inside” a slice of the assembly, giving a unique perspective that can sometimes answer some sticky manufacturing questions. This information, is captured and can be reported. With Swept Volume, the total amount of space that is necessary to accomplish a move is visualized. So, while a trajectory of a move may appear to be adequate, swept volume can uncover clues to the physical space necessary that may not be apparent otherwise. In Measure Analysis the model can be queried for specific measurements. Measuring an item, its thickness, and the distance between it and another object, reveals critical information for manufacturing, tooling, human and a variety of other factors. The Gantt Chart allow the user to see the larger picture of the simulation study. It represents the sequence of activities and the impact of time. As with the other functions, modifications made to the process or properties in the Gantt chart are reflected throughout the simulation.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES6 Conduct Collision Analysis 5 Analyze the Simulation About Collision Analysis Earlier, Dynamic clash detection was used to get a general idea of the intended moves when creating a simulation. This topic describes how to use Clash Detection when bodies are static and when a move activity is executed. This clash methodology is capable of analyzing the clash situation, capturing the data, and producing reports that assist with project communication. Producing XML reports of clash conditions captures the information for discussion and is easily shared in many media forms. More about Clash Detection can be found in the On-Line documentation Running the simulation in assembly or disassembly sequence with the stop mode activated will cause the simulation to stop at every occurrence of a clash. This offers an overview of existing conditions. When Clash Checking is activated its parameters can be set to examine interference in a variety of ways. The analysis can be configured as the clash is examined or, a queue can be established ahead of time that forms a list of specific items to be analyzed. When the analysis is configured, the ability to conduct a Bind analysis is activated. Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES7 1 Begin running a clash analysis by restoring the initial state of the simulation. Run the Simulation in Stop mode - Procedure 5 From the Simulation Analysis toolbar select the Clash Detection drop down to reveal the Clash Modes Off, On and Stop. Select the Stop mode. This will stop the simulation at every occurrence of a clash. 2 By using the Reverse the Process function, the simulation can be evaluated for clash conditions in either assembly or disassembly sequence.

Part fit as well as tooling effects must be accounted for when planning assembly operations. Distance along an axis can also be obtained which may assist when planning tooling or other resource movements. More about Distance and Band Analyses can be found in the On-Line documentation. A Band analysis allows a static visualization of all areas of part geometries that are affected by the distance parameter that is set. A Band analysis will represent the areas that are within a specified range, those that are at less than an acceptable minimum distance, and those that are outside of the identified range. Conducting a Distance or a Band analysis will populate the Analysis configuration queue. As with Collision Analysis, this can be pre-defined or activated on demand. A Bind Analysis is a Band analysis that is applied to a move activity. Its purpose is to identify movements that enter a clearance zone. For proficient users, Bind Analysis is often used in conjunction with creating move activities. All analyses that are conducted are stored under the Applications node of the PPR tree and are exportable.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES86 Determine Swept Volume 5 Analyze the Simulation About Swept Volume The Swept Volume functionality permits the generation of graphical representation of the entire amount of space occupied by an object moving along a trajectory. A Swept Volume graphical representation provides a 3D view of the trajectory and the volume of space used around it for every point along the trajectory path. Swept Volume is useful for checking an assembly path for clashes after a design change has been made. In this way the user can check the relevant trajectory and be relieved of the need to run the simulation in order to conduct a collision analysis. Multiple parts can be part of a Swept volume analysis and can be conducted separately or in reference to another part of the assembly. All analyses that are conducted are stored under the Applications node of the PPR tree and are exportable. More about Swept Volume can be found in the On-Line documentation.
