Follow the general procedure for reporting. Outdated model data can be identified as shown in the following example.
▆ Reporting out-dated parameter: Checking whether material information is up-to-date
Initial situation: A company wants to check whether outdated material files (MTL versus MAT files) are contained in existing model data.
Considerations:
·Who creates the report? Administrator ⭢ Run task list in Model Processor
·Which parts should be included in the report? All components of an assembly ⭢ Run task list on current model
·Which model data should be checked? In this company old materials (MAT files) can be found by using the old the parameter MATERIAL_GROUP_DE ⭢ The task Universal Report can filter for old material parameters.
·Does the focus need to be switched to a different part or within a part? Yes, from assembly to all model componens ⭢ Group mode required
·What report type is needed? CSV file, one row per model ⭢ Report definition
The implementation is explained in the chapter Examples and Tutorials chapter; see Checking material files.
