Compare Models

Perform a model-based CAD-CAD, CAD-FE or FE-FE comparison between two models, or two selections of entities, and find and report geometrical/shape differences.

When you are comparing entities, the entities must exist in the HyperMesh database. The Comparison tool generates results by comparing the source entities to the target entities. Currently, only surfaces and 2D elements are supported in the Comparison tool. The results generated by this tool can be broken down into the following categories: Matched, Overlapped, Intersected, and Unmatched.

Open Comparison dialog.
  • From the menu bar, click Geometry > Check > Surfaces > Comparison.
  • From the menu bar, click Mesh > Check > Elements > Comparison.
