1.3.4.3.2.15. Topological measures of length

When executing a Full-text search topological measures of length are searched through as well, what is very advantageously, especially when using own part catalogs, because here, often a detailed characteristic attribute table is missing.

Hits from topology are displayed in a dedicated column Topology and are marked in yellow.

(Alternatively Topology search and Geometric search (3D) are appropriate methods.)

Precondition:

Using this feature requires an updated full-text search index plus accordingly set config entry.

In the configuration file partsol.cfg, block INDEX:LUCENE, key TopologyCatalogs enter the desired catalog path in the following form:[21]

cat/<catalog_name>

Details on this can be found under Section 1.3.8.6.15, “ Update Full-text search index (and Geometrical search index) for finding topological values via Full-text search ” in PARTsolutions - Administration Manual.

Example:

The figure shows an example with the search term "Cuboid 50".

The figure shows an example with the search term "Cuboid 50".

In the Part view you can find the docking window Topology information in addition with a detailed listing which also contains the number of each occurrence. See Section 1.4.9, “Docking window "Topology information "”.

Example: Search for "Cuboid 50". "Cuboid" is found in the table, "50" via topological information (even if there are no table values).

Example: Search for "Cuboid 50". "Cuboid" is found in the table, "50" via topological information (even if there are no table values).

Explicit Topology search

Use an explicit topology search when searching for details.

If, for example you are searching for "3 holes with diameter 5", then add the Topology search.

On this see Section 1.3.4.12, “ Topology search ”.




[21] The tolerance is set via configuration file and normally has not to be changed. See $CADENAS_SETUP/partsol.cfg -> block [FULLTEXTSEARCH] -> key TopologyTolerance.
