Integration Checks Explained
 |
The Integration tool
performs the following checks to make sure your 3D design and the schematic
from which it was generated are integrated. Most checks below do not need
additional explanation. Examples have been provided for some.

1. |
- 2D functions that are not
associated to any 3D parts
- 3D parts that are not associated to any 2D
functions
- Duplicate 3D parts that are associated to the same 2D function
- 3D parts in a line ID different from the line ID of its associated 2D
function
- 3D parts with attribute values different from the associated 2D function
- 3D parts with part type different from the associated 2D function
- 3D parts with part number different from the associated 2D function
- 3D parts that do not match with the Function-Physical mapping rules:
This check establishes whether the physical part is a valid type for the
2D function, as defined in the Function-Physical mapping table. The
following conditions may cause an error: The values assigned to the attribute 'nominal size' in the 3D design do
not fall within the range specified in the Function-Physical mapping
table. Other reasons that can cause an error in this check are that the
application cannot find the relevant standards catalog, the catalog is
pointing to the incorrect Function-Physical mapping table, or an
incorrect entry has been made for the catalog in the section "Design
Validation, 2D3DIntegrationStatusReport Discipline Resources" of the
project resource management file.
- 2D From/To connectivity that is not defined in the 3D layout: The
schematic has a route with a specific beginning and ending but this is
not represented in the 3D design. Some possible scenarios are: the
schematic has an equipment as the start or end, but there is no
equipment in the 3D design; the equipment exists but is not connected to
the route; the start or end is not connected to a branch or part, as
defined in the schematic; open ended run; there are less than two
connections.
- Runs with flow different from the 2D strings: The flow direction is
not as defined in the schematic.
- 3D connector with ID different from the associated 2D connector
- 2D FROM/TO object is not defined in the 3D layout
- 2D function not defined in the 3D layout for a given FROM/TO
- 3D parts in a line ID that are not in the same order as 2D:
Part placement in the 3D design does not follow the order in the
schematic; this check only determines if the part has been placed in the
same order as in the schematic, not if they are connected.
- 3D part on a run not connected

If the object or
objects defined in a From/To are contained in more than one schematic sheet
- using an off sheet connector - then the checks ignore it. You will get an
error message informing you which check was involved and which From/To was
not validated. |
