My company is gearing up to meet Boeing's D6-51991 requirement later this year. I know there are some software solutions out there. I would like to see what other users do to comply?

My VAR paid us a visit a couple months ago and reported SolidWorks has a Compare Utility that can check one .sldprt file to another. That is the closest function to what we are looking for, but not quite it. I need to be able to match my .sldprt to the transitional file type provided to me (.x_t, .step, .iges ...) as a check for geometric errors caused by the import / export process. At least that is how we understand the requirement so far.
Hi,
Here is one software - Kubotek 3D - CAD Validation Software
I have no experience with this software.
Hope it's help.
I'm not sure what your really in need of from what I am reading, however we are a Bowing compliat vendor so if you could be more specific maybe I could help.
Sure, I'll try to not bore you here. We are learning how all this works as we go. There is a D6-51991 requirement with which we are wanting to comply. I do not know if it's mandatory for all suppliers, we just want to get on board. This standard is a check for the accuracy of the CAD system transfer of geometry. You are likely aware of the potential flaws that occur in the import / export process, think of the role that import diagnostics plays for us. With this standard, Boeing wants a check of the model a supplier generates while opening a Boeing supplied file. They are saying, prove that we are starting with an accurate model. There are software solutions out there, namely Kubotek & CompareVidia.
I'm curious about other users' experiences with these programs and with the process of meeting this standard.
Wr're not near the Y14.41 yet, but I did see a really good presentation on the Solidworks product MBD. It looks like SW is really trying to make sure it works. I'd give it a shot.
