Automatically group selected parts into part sets based on comparison method and criteria selected.

Options
- Compare
- Compare parts.
- All
- Both CAD and FE are considered for comparison.
- CAD
- If the selected part has CAD and FE, CAD is preferred. If the part has only FE, only FE is considered.
- CAD only
- The CAD from part will be considered for comparison even if CAD and FE are both available. If CAD is not available, nothing will be considered.
- FE
- If the selected part has CAD and FE, FE is preferred. If the part has CAD only, CAD is considered.
- FE only
- The FE from part will be considered for comparison even if CAD and FE are both available. If FE is not available, nothing is considered.
- Method
- Method comparisons.
- Shape
- Performs a topological comparison. Supports CAD only. Accurate but slower.
- Shape AI encoding (Default)
- Encodings from each part are identified and an encoding signature is generated. These signatures are compared to find matching parts based on the matching criteria provided. Can be used for both CAD and FE. Less accurate but fast.
- Similarity (%)
- This value determines (by percentage) the matching area threshold above which the matching pair results should be returned.
- Tolerance
- By default, the tolerance is set to Auto and can be modified manually if needed using the Manual option. This is the tolerance value to check the match. For the Auto option, HyperMesh identifies the best tolerances for each selection. If no value is passed in Manual mode, the tolerance is 0.5.
- Create part set for unmatched parts
- Select this option for creating a part set automatically for parts that do not match.
