Features and Operations > Validation

Select the Validation icon to check if any errors are in the model. Users can also Validate their model when running a Simulation. The errors shown below are some that can affect the model Simulation and cause failed builds.

Compliant Model Status *Error will indicates that this type of error found in the run log causes a failed assembly condition
Move Type	Status	Message	Solution
All Moves	Error	Empty Part List	Add a Part(s) to the Move Parts list
		Not Enough Object/Target Points
		Invalid Object/Target Primary Plane

	Warning	Move is Inactive
		Object/Target Points not Within
		Object Points not Within Move Parts
		(Warning) Object/Target Primary plane is invalid.	Check the move to see if a feature was selected in two or three primary fields. If one feature has two or more locators, create points to represent different locators.
		Bend Condition Points not Within
		Bend Condition Direction Points not Within
		Direction(#): Points Not Within
		Direction(#): Not Enough Points Selected, Using (0,0,1)
		...has Inactivate Points

User-DLL Move	Error	Cannot find file 'Name.exe'	3DCS Cannot locate the file used in the User-DLL function. Please check the file's location and file path.
		No User Function Specified	The User-DLL function is not loaded. Load the missing User-DLL into the DLL Load function.
		Cannot Find User Function 'Name'	Check if the User-DLL is loaded. If the DLL is loaded, check the move with the missing User-DLL function, the function may have changed names or position in the list.

Match Move	Error	MatchLine (err=0.021504) Calculation Fail

Conditional Move	Warning	Condition (MeasX) uses Relative Specification Limits

Compliant Model - Points and Stiffness Matrix Status *Error will indicates that this type of error found in the run log causes a failed assembly condition
Type	Status	Message	Solution
Stiffness Matrix file	Warning	The stiffness files of object and target parts have different DOF numbers.

Points (ASET)	Warning	Modeling Pt(s) "Point Name" do not have a saved link to any FEA (ASET) node.	1.Open the FEA Point Linking dialog, select the part, click "Refresh Mesh" and Nominal Build. 2.Or utilize the "Refresh ASET Links" function when loading the Mesh in the Load FEA Data Move and Nominal Build. 3.Or regenerate the FEA Files with StiffGen.

3DCS/Creo Message

Error

dcsErr: Part tessellation returned no points for partBASE. Check for and repair part/import feature's missing surface and/or edges.

This issue will not occur a lot with CREO and 3DCS. If so, here are some solutions to help fix the issue.

1.Use native Creo parts, instead of importing IGES or STEP files

2.Try to improve the geometry by modifying and saving the part.

3.Use the Data Doctor provided by PTC.
