Surface Comparison

An easy way to visualize differences between CAD data (Nominal) and measured data (Actual)is a surface comparison.

You can substract the CAD data from the measured data or vice versa.

Surface Comparison - Exercise

1 Create a Surface Comparison on CAD DataSwitch to Inspection workspaceSelect from main toolbar >> Surface Comparison >> Surface Comparison on CAD

2 Create a Surface Comparison on Measured DataSelect from main toolbar >> Surface Comparison >> Surface Comparison on Actual

3 Return to Report Workspace and Go on with the Tutorial

Surface Deviation Labels

With a deviation label you can capture the specific value from a specific point you clicked on.They are colored for an easy way of distinction.

Construct Elements

In order to make more complex inspections you need to construct elements (geometry elements).These elements are used to define areas of interest that can be analyzed.

Construct Elements - Exercise

1 Construct Surface PointsSwitch to Inspection workspace

Select from Explorer >> Nominal >> CAD >> gom_part.stp

Press E on your keyboard to make the CAD data visible exclusively

Select from menu bar >> Construct >> Point >> Surface Point

Construct a few surface points somewhere on the surface of the CAD

I-Inspect

The powerful I-Inspect is an aggregation of the most important inspection tools inside of GOM Inspect.There are: Blade, Measuring Principle, GD&T and Check.

Measuring PrincipleBlade

I-Inspect - Measuring Principle

This is a collection of functions to speed up your inspection workflow.A Measuring Principle is like a group of actions which are performed when applying it to an element.

26/41

I-Inspect - Measuring Principle - Exercise

1 Apply the Measuring Principle "Project Point Onto Actual"Switch to Inspection workspaceSelect from Explorer >> Nominal Elements >> Geometries >> Surface PointsSelect from main toolbar >> I-InspectClick on the green Measuring-Principle buttonSelect >> Project Point Onto Actual*

* "Project Point Onto Actual" takes the selected points on the CAD data (Nominal) and projects them on the measured data (Actual). The projection creates new actual elements and links them to the nominal elements. 2 Return to Report Workspace and Go on with the Tutorial

27/41

I-Inspect - Check

You can get specific values for an element by applying a "Check" function.

28/41

I-Inspect - Check - Exercise

1 Check the X Coordinate of the Surface PointsSwitch to Inspection workspaceSelect from Explorer >> Nominal Elements >> Geometries >> Surface PointsSelect from main toolbar >> I-InspectClick on the blue Check button of I-InspectSelect from Check menu >> X Coordinate

2 Change the Label Template of the Surface PointsClick on the Magnifier icon in the center of I-Inspect (make sure your surface points are still selected)Select >> Choose Label Template >> Results*

* The Results label contains the values for Nominal, Actual and their Deviation. The Check tells you if the element is within or outside of tolerance.

Label and Metalabel

Labels are available for each element and its inspection results.To reduce the amount of labels in large projects they are combined (Metalabel).

Different types of Labels

Label and Metalabel - Exercise

1 Check the Y Coordinate of the Surface PointsSwitch to Inspection workspaceSelect from Explorer >> Nominal Elements >> Geometries >> Surface PointsSelect from main toolbar >> I-InspectClick on the blue Check button of I-InspectSelect from Check menu >> Y Coordinate*

* The labels of the surface points should now contain the values for the X and Y coordinates. Although bound together in a Metalabel you can still select each value separately by clicking on it.
