Publishing an Interference Report

You can publish report as an HTML or a CSV file consisting of interference information and store the report in the database or on the local computer.

You can also generate a report for the previously saved simulation when it is in explore mode.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • Open or create an interference simulation.
  • Optional: Select the Save report in Database check box available in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Interference Check > Report Generation expander.
  • Under Report format, select the required format (HTML or CSV) in which the report needs to be generated.

Publish a Report from the Top Bar

You can publish an interference report from the top bar.

  1. Select the product.
  2. In the top bar, select Share > Export > Publish.
    • The report is published in the default browser.
    • The Engineering Document dialog box appears.
  3. Specify the document name in the Engineering Document dialog box.
  4. In the Engineering Document dialog box, click any of the following:
    • OK to save the report in the database and to display in the tree under the Result node.
    • Cancel to save the report on the local drive at default location but not in the database.

Publish a Report from Interference Simulation Multi-list

You can publish an interference report for required interferences by selecting them. You can also apply the filters and publish the interference results for the filtered interferences.

Before you begin: From Interference Simulation section of the action bar, click Analyze interference to publish an interference simulation multi-list.

Publish a Report from Selected Results

  1. Ctrl + select the required interferences from the interference simulation multi-list.
  2. Right-click the result and select Export Selected.
    • The report for the selected interferences is generated and appears.
    • The Engineering Document dialog box appears.
  3. Specify the document name in the Engineering Document dialog box.
  4. In the Engineering Document dialog box, click any of the following:
    • OK to save the report in the database and to display in the tree under the Result node.
    • Cancel to save the report on the local drive at default location but not in the database.

Publish a Report from Filtered Results

  1. Apply the required filters to the required columns of the interference simulation multi-list. To do so:
    1. Right-click the header of the required column from the interference simulation multi-list and select Add filter.
    2. Select , specify the required criteria and filters the interference list.
    3. Click Apply.
    The filtered interferences appear in the interference simulation multi-list.
  2. Right-click any of the interferences and select Export Filtered.

    You can also select the required instances from the filtered interferences.

    • The report is generated and appears based on the interferences selected from the filtered interference simulation multi-list.
    • The Engineering Document dialog box appears.
  3. Specify the document name in the Engineering Document dialog box.
  4. In the Engineering Document dialog box, click any of the following:
    • OK to save the report in the database and to display in the tree under the Result node.
    • Cancel to save the report on the local drive at default location but not in the database.

Publish a Report for the Simulation in Explore Mode

You can directly publish a report for a saved simulation without opening the simulation. The report is generated only when you are working in online mode.

  1. In the top bar, enter the required simulation string in the search box and click search .

    You can optimize the search using predefined keywords. See Perform a Predefined Search Using Keywords.

    The Search Results panel appears.
  2. In the Search Results panel, right-click the required simulation and select Explore.
    The simulation opens in a new tab of the Simulation Finder app in explore mode.
  3. From the Compass, click Interference Finder.
  4. In the top bar, select Share > Export > Publish.
    The interference report is published.
    Notes:
    • The report is stored only on the local drive instead of the database.
    • The report does not display the attributes added via new extension or customization. See Customize Result List.

Publish a Report from Interferences B.I.

You can publish an interference report for required interferences from interferences B.I..You can also apply the filters and publish the interference results for the filtered interferences.

Before you begin: From the Tools section of the action bar, click B.I. Essentials .
  1. Select the required feature in the 3D area and select the required attribute.

    For more information, see Using B.I. Essentials in Interference Finder.

    The Interference(s) panel appears with interference details of the selected feature and attribute.
  2. Right-click any of the interference instance and select Export Selected or Export Filtered to publish report.
