The workflow is used to check duct geometries and for the geometrically error-free assignment to segments and ducts.
Procedure
Start the workflow in Workflow Explorer > Duct workflows > Verify duct geometries by double-clicking it, from the context menu or by clicking the button in the lower right area of the workflow explorer:
The following dialog opens:
1. You can select how the feature selection is to be made.
a) The features to be checked can be selected in the map.
b) The segments of the ducts to be checked can be filtered beforehand according to the desired criteria. Both ducts directly in the segment and ducts in the duct in the segment are taken into account.
c) The ducts to be checked can be filtered beforehand according to the desired criteria.
d) The workflow can be carried out for the ducts of all segments in the project.
e) The workflow can be carried out for all ducts in the project.
2. The entries can be added or removed.
The check is started by pressing the button.
3. The result is that the ducts are displayed grouped by fault. The number of ducts in each group is shown in brackets.
The ducts are listed in the groups by name or FID:
4. Segments/ducts to which the duct is geometrically correctly assigned are grouped. The geometry error is located between the grouped segments/ducts. The position of the geometry error can be made visible by highlighting.
5. Within the groups, the segments/ducts are listed with name (a) or FID (b).
The following functions can be used via the context menu:
After the errors have been corrected and the workflow has been carried out again, no more ducts are listed as a result.
Source of error
Possible errors in the duct geometry may include:
Segment end points do not lie exactly on top of each other; there is a very small gap:
A duct has a gap in the segment assignment:
A duct has been incorrectly assigned twice in a confusing location with many segment sections:
Points (duct insertions/fittings) do not align precisely with the segment/duct ends
