Overview
The analysis section has been designed to allow the user to review and compare captured survey data against the design data.
Files
To view a survey within analysis, you will always need two files: survey (.SUR) and design (.DES).
If you want to open a previous survey file, load the SUR file by pressing the button [Survey File:__________Open for Analysis]; the design should be loaded automatically.
Fit Tools
The default fit of the survey data is defined as the best match between all observational data and the design data. The default fit is always given first, using all available data.
The user can quickly review other orientations of the survey data by using the tools on the right.
These tools enable the user to manipulate and present data; they are discussed in greater depth later in the analysis section.

Transform
The transform button allows the user to alter survey data with six degrees of freedom. This means that the survey results can be translated and rotated around the XYZ axis.
- Have a look at this video: [Analysis Transform]
What is shown on the Visual Report
The first and most crucial thing to know is that all values presented are deviations from the design requirement, and if the pipe spool was manufactured exactly as designed, all values would be zero.
Vector error is the positional difference between a measured work point and the design.
Touch point/high point/flange alignment error/mitre error. The point on the flange face that will come into contact with the adjoining flange. The value displayed represents the gap in millimeters opposite the touch point.
Rotational error is where a flange bolt-holes are not oriented as intended.
Reports
Three reports can be generated: Visual, Text and QA.
Text and QA reports are available after setting up the survey data in the visual report interface.
The visual report transforms the survey data and compares it to the design.
The visual report displays vector errors in position, flange alignment (touchpoint) and rotational errors.
This report is the most effective way to observe deviations from the design for pipe spools with multiple configurations.
The spool can be viewed in any orientation, while the text remains flat.
