3D CAD model validation with CompareVidia

CompareVidia - CAD model validation

• Data formats IGES/STEP/CATIA/UGX/Pro/E, etc.

• Authority / Check Model

• Validation report

• Classification of incompatibilities

• Multilevel compare criteria

– global check – volume, surface, canter of gravity

– local check – geometry, shape

– additional check – topology, colour, attribute, layer

• Validation against CMM points

• Validation of assembly definition

ViewVidia – collaboration 3D viewer

• Communicate validation results

• Visualise, annotate, measure 3D model (any CAD format)

• Free of charge (XML)

How to validate the validation software?

• Known errors are introduced in the CAD model

• Original model and model with errors are compared

• All errors should be detected by CompareVidia
