Check Mate Demo

1. Check-Mate* Demonstration with DAA A Slide Show Describing Check-Mate Capabilities and Benefits * Check-Mate is a Siemens PLM Product

2. What is Check-Mate ? Knowledge Driven Validation Tool Check if Corporate Standards are being followed Integrated with Siemens NX to check part, assembly and drawing quality Integrated with Siemens Teamcenter to manage validation processes and results

3. What is Check-Mate ? Extensive library of Standard Checks (250+ “canned” checks). Model Quality Checks Assembly Checks Drawing Checks File Structure Checks Custom Developed Checks

4. What is Check-Mate ? Reporting Tools Analyze Check-Mate results Identify training needs Evaluate suppliers performance Recognize trends and improvement opportunities Customize reports to view quality metrics in various formats Export reports to html

5. What is Check-Mate ? Checks can be executed in different ways Interactively in NX – check during design and modification to reduce issues before releasing parts. Automatically during save operation in NX Batch processing on folders in Teamcenter Batch processing of entire file directories on the operating system

6. What is Check-Mate ? Supported by Teamcenter Workflows and Processes Results are stored with part revisions and can be reviewed directly in Teamcenter Users and Managers can be automatically notified when there are warnings or errors Results can be used in workflow / release processes to prevent parts that fail specific checks from being released Overrides can be used to allow failing parts to progress through work flows when necessary

7. What is Check-Mate ? Customizable environment Customer default settings and environment variables - change how Check-Mate is presented to users Validation Rules Editor – define conditions for executing checkers. Includes authoring capabilities for creating custom checks Based on the NX Knowledge Fusion language An extensive set of checking functions is provided Can be further extended using NX/Open API

8. A Brief Check-Mate Demo: Aircraft Landing Gear

9. Selecting ”Set Up Tests”from the Check-Mate Toolbar

10. Selecting “All Loaded Parts” to check the entire assembly

11. Selecting the “Tests”tab

12. Opening the “Categories” to select the checks to execute

13. Selecting the “checks” to execute

14. Or selecting a “profile” (a collection of checks), then Execute Check-Mate

15. Results can be viewed via several methods

16. Method 1: Hovering over the HD3D icon in the graphics region

17. Method 2: Hovering over the listing in the Check-Mate HD3D Resource window

18. Method 3: Double clicking on the listing or icon to view result details

19. Method 4: Clicking on “More Details” to see more information

20. Closing the “Check-Mate Result” details dialog

21. Method 5: Expanding an “Object”to view individual issues

22. Right clicking on “Object” to see options, including problem area navigation

23. Issues can be linked to web pages and other documentation

24. How can Check-Mate help? Improved model, assembly and drawing quality Ensures NX part integrity when opening models (correct layers, appropriate reference sets, drawing standards, etc…) Prevents problematic models from being released in Teamcenter Automatically notifies Teamcenter users when critical checks fail Reporting tools to help determine which checks fail most (can help direct user training)

25. How can Check-Mate help? Avoids untold wasted hours looking for part geometry and features when revising parts and creating assemblies because layers and reference sets are not used consistently. Related Check-Mate checks: Layer categories Geometry on layers Geometry in reference sets Hidden geometry Suppressed features

26. How can Check-Mate help? Avoids many wasted hours repairing imported data for downstream CAM and CAE operations. Related Check-Mate checks: Tiny geometry Spikes/cuts Identical faces Self intersecting faces Multiple knots Non-smooth faces Minimum curvature Multiple solids Unintentional cavities

27. How can Check-Mate help? Avoids Designers spending too much time determining why parts do not update properly when modified. Check-Mate Checks: Features and sketches are fully constrained with no fixed constraints Positioning constraints that reference fillet and chamfer edges Suppressed features Primitive features Buried features Out of date features Unparameterized features WAVE links

28. How can Check-Mate help? Prevents wasted time and schedule delays because the Checking Group is forced to spends days “red-lining” drawings. Related Check-Mate checks: Drafting standards (ANSI, ISO, etc.) Spelling Dimension tolerance Views are up to date Standard note text Non-associative dimensions Overlapping views Drawing attributes View scale Drafting symbols Line style / width

29. How can Check-Mate help? Avoids Engineers struggling to determine if assemblies are valid. Related Check-Mate checks: Check if clearance analysis has been run Proper use of component reference sets Component part file locations WAVE links Deformable components Non-geometric components Part density settings Routing checks Duplicate components

30. How can DAA help? DAA provides training and development services for configuring your Check-Mate checks and environment.

31. How can DAA help? Assist users to set-up checking tasks by creating intelligent collections of checks for different part types; e.g. piece-parts, drawings, assemblies and even different part sub-types(cast, sheet metal, injection molded…)

32. How can DAA help? Help extend Check-Mate coverage to ensure all your standards are followed.

33. How can DAA help? Provide mentoring so you can create your own custom Check-Mate checkers
