Update on Visual Analysis

This week was focused on finding the error that occurred when importing the 3D computer model into Visual Analysis. Finding the error in the whole 3D model proved to be impossible. Each part of the computer model was imported into Visual Analysis and examined one at a time. Once imported, the parts were pinned to the bottom to see if they were structurally sound.

We found out that the error only occurred with the top portion of the tower. The revolving restaurant and above displayed several errors in the result view.

Afterwards, each part that did work was assembled together one part at a time and imported to Visual Analysis to see if there was any problems that occurred with importing assemblies of the parts into Visual Analysis. The result view was displayed, even after all the whole assembly of the tower, with the exception of the top, imported.

However, one thing was realized once the result view displayed. Visual Analysis did not see the 3D model as one part, except several different parts.

As shown in this picture, one of the wings falls off in the result view.
