CAD Test Benches

A CAD Test Bench can be used to build a CAD assembly from an OpenMETA Component Assembly, calculate certain metrics from the generated assembly, and export the complete assembly in a number of different formats (step, igs, etc).

Build and Configure

As a minimum you must:

  • Add a WorkflowRef to a Workflow with a “CyPhy2CAD” Task.
  • Add the desired component assembly as the TopLevelSystemUnderTest (TLSUT).

Additionally you may:

  • Add a CADComputationComponent, add desired metrics within it, and wire those values to Metrics in the Test Bench.
  • Add Parameters that can be wired into a TestInjectionPoint reference.
