Launch the Verification Browser

Use the Verification Browser to inspect CAD data supplied from your design or CAD team.

The Verification Browser supports Offset, Intersection, Spot Weld, Connection, Spot Comparison, and Free Part checks. After performing the verification, results are exported to reports.

From the menu bar, click View > Browsers > HyperMesh > Verification.
The Verification Browser opens.

Browser User Interface

Overview of the Verification and Comparison Browser user interfaces.

The Verification and Comparison Browsers consists of a search, filter, column data and Entity Editor.

You can switch to the Part Browser any time to perform detailed operations on a part.

Context Menu

Overview of the Verification and Comparison Browser context menus.

Name
Description
Import
Import CAD or FEM as a BOM file into the Verification Browser for manual cleanup, and then run verifications. It is recommended to use a respective check in case no data cleanup in necessary, as this Import function is integrated into each verification function.
Export
Export an .xml file to a specified location. You can use this .xml file to run Model verification using the XML option.
Check
Check functions. For more information, refer to Perform Model Checks.
“Check (Comparison, Representation Comparison)”, “Multiple Checks".
Parts
Consists of part functions.
“Count”,”Rename”, “Renumber” “Export”, “Delete” , “Load”, “Load in other”, “Load in HyperView Player”, “Unload".
Representations
Consist of representation import options “Load”, “Load in other HM”, “Load in Hyper View Player”, “Unload”, and “Save”.
Review Results
Comparison and Intersection results are directly displayed in HyperMesh graphics. For Comparison function, you can right-click Base Part and select review to display the base part and matched variant parts in the graphics area along with mismatched area with temp nodes.
CSV
Compare
Compare and identify unmatched information between a CSV file and the imported BOM file. Results will be populated in the Error column. The CSV file header details can be configured through the Configuration option, under the CSV comparison section.
Export
Export selected parts and children parts in to a CSV file.
Update
Read a CSV file exported with the Export function, and update the information displayed in the Verification browser. The Entities column is the reference column considered for updating the BOM.
Tools
Consist of “Divide Slides”, “Open In Explorer”, “Reset Results”, “Get Revision menus”, details are available in the functional detail sections.
Configuration
Open the configuration dialog.
