Inspection Results reference

The Inspection Results window displays detailed information from imported machine-generated results files or recorded manual inspections.

Inspect Surface

The colors of the surface inspection results show whether points are in or out of tolerance.

surface inspection results

By default, Fusion uses the following color conventions:

  • blue Blue means above the upper tolerance, indicating that not enough material has been removed.
  • green Green means in tolerance.
  • red Red means below the lower tolerance, indicating that too much material has been removed.
Note: Fusion uses the same tolerance color convention for stock simulation and surface inspection results. If you prefer to swap how red and blue are used, you can select an alternative color convention.

The window includes the following information:

  • Nominal XYZ: The theoretical position of the point.
  • Projected XYZ: The calculated position of the point based on where the probe touched the part's surface
  • Contact XYZ: The actual position of the point where the probe touched the part's surface.
  • Offset: The surface offset specified in the Inspect dialog.
  • Delta XYZ: The difference in X, Y, and Z from the nominal position, or the projected position (if using projection), to the contact position.
  • Deviation: The calculated variation in the nominal position, or projected position (if using projection), from the contact position.
  • Error: The amount by which the value of the point's position exceeds the specified tolerance.

Probe WCS and Probe Geometry

Inspection results from Probe Geometry and Probe WCS show the geometric dimensions and positions of critical features, including:

  • Holes (circular and rectangular)
  • Bosses (circular and rectangular)
  • Walls
  • Channels
  • Corners
  • Angled planes

The colors show whether the geometric dimensions of features are in or out of tolerance.

geometric inspection result

Fusion uses the following color convention:

  • green Green means in tolerance.
  • orange Orange means out of tolerance, either above the upper tolerance or below the lower tolerance.

The window includes the following information:

  • Type: Currently limited to Diameter, Distance, and Center.
  • Nominal: The theoretical dimension and position of the feature.
  • Measured: The actual dimension and position of the feature.
  • Deviation: The calculated variation between the nominal and measured values.
  • Error: The amount by which the deviation exceeds the specified tolerance.
  • Result: The status of the feature
Note: To generate a results file that you can import into Fusion, you must ensure that the Print Results checkbox is selected in the Actions tab of the Probe Geometry or Probe WCS dialogs.

Manual Inspection

The colors of the geometric dimensions of features show whether they are in or out of tolerance.

manual inspection results

Fusion uses the following color convention:

  • green Green means in tolerance.
  • orange Orange means out of tolerance, either above the upper tolerance or below the lower tolerance.

The window includes the following information:

  • Type: The type of inspection carried out.
  • Nominal: The theoretical dimension of the feature.
  • Measured: The actual dimension of the feature.
  • Deviation: The calculated variation between the nominal and measured values.
  • Error: The amount by which the deviation exceeds the specified tolerance.
  • Result: The status of the feature.
