Description

Checks the quality of 1D elements (welds) created by realizing connector entity (CE). It places all failed connectors on an output mark and highlights them.

Inputs

ce_inmark: Mark of displayed connectors.
entities: Only quality checks for Elements are now supported.
outputmark: All connectors that contain FE (welds) that failed quality check criteria are placed on this mark. Mark contains only connectors.
free1d: Check if any connectors realized welds that are not connected to the mesh.; 1 - turned on.
length_flag: Check if the length of FE (welds) exceeds a certain value specified by the length parameter.; 1 - turned on.
length: The value of the length of the weld that should not be exceeded. Used in conjunction with length_flag.
angle_flag: Check if the angle between the FE (welds) and the shell element normal exceeds the values pecified by the angle parameter.; 1 - turned on.
angle: The orientation that the weld should not exceed with respect to the shell normal. A proper weld is oriented along the shell normal. Used in conjunction with angle_flag.

Examples

To check all the quality options of FE (weld elements) in a realized connector with IDs 1, 2, and 3. Let the value of length be 3.0 and the value of the angle be 12.0. The failed connectors are placed on mark 2 and highlighted.
