Hole Detection
- min-diameter
- Minimum diameter for surface hole recognition. Holes below this diameter will be ignored.
- max-diameter
- Maximum diameter for surface hole recognition. Holes above this diameter will be ignored.
- min-nodes
- Minimum number of nodes to recognize FE hole. Hole with nodes less than this number will be ignored.
- max-nodes
- Maximum number of nodes to recognize FE hole. Hole with nodes greater than this number will be ignored.
- adjacent-tolerance
- Distance to judge duplicate holes for the same plate. If the Holes to Holes distance is less than this value is considered as duplicate hole.
Free Hole
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Search tolerance for searching nearest bolts/nuts from the hole
center.
If there is no bolt, nut or screw nearby, the holes are considered as free holes.
freeboltnut
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- bolt-box-tolerance
- Search tolerance for searching nearest plates from the bolt outer
surfaces.
- nut-box-tolerance
- Search tolerance for searching nearest plates from the nut outer
surface.
- allowed-plate-comps
- These named parts will not be considered as plates.
Bolt or Nut CAD data that are not passing through the plates or floating in the space
without the plates are found.
bolthole-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- input-type
- Continuous CAD lines or CAD solids.
- centernode-search-tolerance
- Search tolerance for searching holes from bolt CAD surface.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the bolt outer surface.
- min-dist
- Allowable mismatch distance between bolt axis and hole axis.
- max-dist
- Maximum search distance between bolt axis and the hole axis.
Mismatch issues is found if the mismatch is between min-dist to max-dist value.
nuthole-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- input-type
- Continuous CAD lines or CAD solids.
- centernode-search-tolerance
- Search tolerance for searching holes from bolt/nut CAD surface.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the nut outer surface.
- min-dist
- Allowable mismatch distance between nut axis and hole axis. If the
mismatch is less than this value issues will not be reported.
- max-dist
- Maximum search distance between nut axis and the hole axis. If the mismatch is greater than this value, issues will not be reported.
Issues are found if the mismatch distance is between min-dist to max-dist range.
boltnut-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the nut outer surface.
- threshold-angle
- Allowable angle between center axis of bolt and the nut. More than this
angle, the check will be ignored for that pair of connection parts.
- min-dist
- Allowable mismatch distance between nut axis and hole axis. If the
mismatch is less than this value, issues will not be reported.
- max-dist
- Maximum search distance between nut axis and the hole axis. If the mismatch is greater than this value, issues will not be reported.
Bolt-nut mismatch issues will be reported if the Bolt and Nut sizes are not within
min-dist and max-dist range.
boltnutsize-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest bolt, plates from the nut outer
surface.
- min-dist
- Allowable mismatch distance between nut axis and hole axis. If the
mismatch is less than this value, issues will not be reported.
- min-nut-tol-bolt-ratio
- Allowable minimum ratio between bolt and nut size. If the ratio is less
than this value, issue is reported.
- max-nut-tol-bolt-ratio
- Allowable maximum ratio between bolt and the nut size. If the ratio is
greater than this value, issue is reported.
Issues will be reported if the Bolt size and Nut size are not in within the range of
min-nut-tol-bolt-ratio and the max-nut-tol-bolt-ratio.
holes-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- min-dist
- Allowable mismatch distance between nut axis and hole axis. If the
mismatch is less than this value, issues will not be reported.
- max-dist
- Maximum search distance between hole center node axis.
- centernode-search-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the hole center.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the hole center.
Issues will be reported if the center axis distance between two holes are not with
the min-dist and max-dist.
holespair-mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the hole center.
- centernode-search-tolerance
- Tolerance for searching nearest plates from the hole center.
Holes not found in the nearest plates are reported as an issue nearest plates. Plate
holes are searched with centernode-search-tolerance tolerance.

- Maximum distance between clip axis and the hole axis. Greater than this value the clip parts are ignored in the check.
Issues will be reported if the center axis of clip data and the center axis of the
hole node is greater than the min-dist and less than max-dist.
Arc/Seam/Adhesive/Seal/Hemming -mismatch
- do-check
- Turn OFF or ON the check.
- input-type
- Continuous CAD lines or CAD solids.
- elem-adj-bbox-tolerance (tol)
- Search tolerance for finding nearest weldable plates. If less than 2
parts found, then issue is reported.

- Maximum distance between weld lines to the nearest parts.
Finds shape mismatch between the weld lines against the plates with the given min and max distance.
The mismatches are measured from the end points of the line.
