Description

Evaluates criteria on a given assembly sequence to assess the ability to assemble your design.

Note: When launching the BMASSEMBLYINSPECT command, the User Coordinate System is used for all calculations during the entire lifetime of the command. This means that there is no impact on the results when turning on/off the UCS during the command.

Method

Choose whether to use the panel to specify the sequence or to define it in the Command line.

Displays all steps of the selected sequence.
Note: You can select steps one by one or all together (Select all).

Each step can be selected individually, has a graphic representation, and a list with the criteria for evaluation.

By pressing the Inspect button, you can run the evaluation for an entire step or for each criterion from the used routine.

Inspect x steps
Runs the criteria included in the routine for evaluating all selected steps.
Note: You can Stop the evaluation process any time.

The result of the inspection provides information about how was evaluated each step.

For each criterion from the routine, there is a graphic representation of the result of the evaluation. Depending on the acceptance range set for each criterion, the result of the evaluation is displayed in corresponding colors.

Press the right-side arrow for detailed results. Some evaluations have passed, and others have errors. You can see easily where the error occurs by pressing the Zoom button.

Example of the result of the Tool range of motion evaluation:

Note: After pressing the Zoom button, the tool is visualized in the drawing area by its start and end position of rotation, and an arrow in between these positions that indicate the range of motion.

Example of the result of the Gravitational stability evaluation:

Note: Partial results for the three checks are shown, as well as temporary arrows in model space.
