1.3.4.10.5.8.  Partial search: Different result similarities with and without consideration of the geometric arrangement

Special geometric arrangements are included in the similarity evaluation of the search results.

  • 1st case: Two surfaces are selected that are at a certain angle to each other.

    Selection

    Selection

    [Note]Note

    Similarities are determined both on the basis of the slotted hole section and the angular position of the surfaces in relation to each other.

    The results here are therefore lower than in the 2nd case.

    Result

  • 2nd case: 4 features of a slot are selected.

    Selection

    Selection

    All parts containing this slot are found.

[Note]Note

Is the angle important? Then mark 2 surfaces that include the angle.

Is the slotted hole feature the decisive factor? Then select only this one.

The percentage geometric similarity value will reflect this difference.
