Abstract
A method for visually verifying an implementation of a design is described. The method includes integrating logical design data, physical design data, and physical implementation data into a common data format and graphically displaying the commonly formatted data to provide a visualization of the design, the visualization including a spatial context component associated with the physical implementation data.
Claims20
A method for visually verifying a design of a wire system, said method comprising using a computer to:
- retrieve logical design data associated with the wire system, and physical design data associated with the wire system;
- extract data from a 3D computer model of the wire system;
- convert the retrieved logical and physical design data and the extracted data into a common data format;
- perform a difference analysis of the logical and physical design data with the extracted data from the 3D model to identify any non-conformances between the 3D model and the design data;
- and
- graphically display any non-conformances.
One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:
- receive physical design data, and logical design data associated with a wire system;
- extract data from a 3D computer model of the wire system;
- convert the retrieved logical and physical design data and the extracted data into a common data format;
- perform a difference analysis of the logical design data and the physical design data with the extracted data from the 3D computer model to identify any non-conformances between the design data and the 3D computer model;
- and
- generate a visualization of the non-conformances on a user interface.
A computer system for verifying a design of a wire system, said computer system comprising a computer programmed to:
- collect physical design data, and logical design data associated with the wire system;
- extract data from a 3D computer model of the wire system;
- convert the retrieved logical and physical design data and extracted data into a common data format;
- perform a difference analysis of the logical and physical design data with the extracted data;
- and
- graphically display any non-conformances between the design data and the data extracted from the 3D model.
