Compares vectors to a set of nominal vectors. Each sampled vector that lies within a specified radius of a nominal vec- tor is compared. The magnitude difference between the sampled vector and the nominal (sampled minus nominal) is set as the resulting vector magnitude, and the direction is inherited by the sampled vector (keeping in mind that negative magnitudes will flip the vector in the opposite direction). A specified area tolerance is applied to the resulting vectors. The tolerance is specified as a band width. That is, a tolerance of 0.010” implies +/- 0.005”.
Input Arguments
0 |
Vector Name Ref List |
Reference Vectors |
A set of reference vector names. Note that these are vector names, not vector group names. |
1 |
Collection Vector Group Name Ref List |
Vector Groups to Check |
A set of one or more vector groups that you’d like to check. |
2 |
Double |
Area Radius |
The radius within each reference vector to search for a measured vector to check. |
3 |
Double |
Area Tolerance |
The width of the tolerance band to apply to the resulting vectors. |
4 |
Collection Vector Group Name |
Resultant Vector Group Name |
The name for the resulting vector group. |
Return Arguments
None.
Returned Status
SUCCESS |
The vector group was created successfully. |
PARTIAL SUCCESS |
At least one reference vector (but not all) were not found. |
FAILURE |
No reference vectors were found, or no sampled vector groups were found. |
Remarks
If no sampled vectors lie within the specified radius of the nominal vectors, an empty vector group will be created.
