Our 3D CAD supplier models have been moved to 3Dfindit.com, the new visual search engine for 3D CAD, CAE & BIM models.
You can log in there with your existing account of this site.
The content remains free of charge.
In the following you can find a description on how to create a Make or Buy analysis.
Call the context menu command Analysis -> Create analysis... on any directory.
-> The respective dialog box is opened.
On the left, activate the desired method (here exemplified Make or Buy).
-> On the right, now the setting options are shown.
In this example we want to search for possible supplier parts in the Standard catalog.
Detailed notes on the setting options can be found under Section 3.1.15.1.4, “Setting options for "Make or Buy", "Cost mockup" and "Suppliers" ”.
-> The analysis is started. In the dialog box Running report generations on server you will get informed about the progress.
Once the analysis is finished, the result is automatically displayed on the tabbed page Analysis. The tab label is analogously to the stated name in the settings dialog (here "Analysis 125").
All search parts of the set directory are listed. When clicking on a plus sign , below the respective search part, the found comparison parts are displayed. The percental values at the found comparison parts show the geometrical similarity.
For a detailed analysis you can optionally load search and comparison part into the Part comparison as usual.
Also see Section 3.1.15.3.5, “ Part comparison and different functions”.
Details on the Part comparison can be found under Section 3.1.6.10, “ Part comparison ”.
