PE-WALLCHECK for Pro/ENGINEER
®
Fast and Safe Thickness Analysis in Pro/ENGINEERPE-WALLCHECK is a tool for the fast and
automated analysis of wall thickness conditions and distances in Pro/ENGINEER parts and components.
By eliminating time-consuming manual measurements, time to market is effectively shortened. At the
same time, a complete analysis adds safety by detecting critical areas before they cause expensive
rework downstream. Compliance with the specified section thickness is guaranteed and documented
throughout early stages of product development. Developed along the same geometric data quality
guidelines as PE-CHECK, PE-WALLCHECK consequently fulfills the Product Data Quality requirements of
the Global Automotive Industry (VDA, SASIG, …). |
Learning how to set up and run an analysis is easy. Fresh users benefit from the integrated
configuration wizard guiding them to an optimum check configuration. Experienced designers may
access the simplified and fast direct configuration. Besides detecting walls that fall short of or
exceed the specified thickness, a check for regions within a certain thickness range is possible.
The surface based analysis delivers accurate results independently from the configured test grid
distance, guaranteeing the high quality of the measurements. Solid and surface models, as well as
imported geometry like STEP, IGES, etc., can all be analyzed. In native Pro/ENGINEER models, the
critical geometry of tapped holes is considered. In assemblies, distances between components can be
checked, and a batch functionality facilitates the analysis of multiple models. In addition to
checking the under and excess of a given wall thickness PE-WALLCHECK can also examine a specific
wall thickness range. The analysis of the wall thicknesses is done accurately area-related and
therewith it is independent from the chosen measuring point grid. This guarantees a high quality of
the measurement results.
A completely revised color-coded result visualization displays the thickness in the 3D
model. The feature based visualization allows for referencing results throughout the design process
with standard Pro/ENGINEER functionality. For each result, minimum and maximum wall thickness, as
well as the number of test grid points is documented by feature parameters.
To support a systematic documentation, the newly integrated classification allows every
result to be classified into categories like error, warning, etc., as well as for adding comments.
Efficient and quick viewing of results is aided by an automatic zoom and center
functionality. Besides listing results by minimum and maximum section thickness, results can be
listed by features affecting the thickness. This supports designers when correcting geometry.
Results can be directly revisited at any time without renewed checking, as all results,
classifications and comments related to the model can be saved. With one click, a PDF report with
result views, section thickness values and comments can be generated.
