Creating a Regeneration Performance Report
To view the regeneration performance report, follow these steps:
1. Open the Performance Report dialog box using one of the steps below:
In any open model, click Tools > Investigate > Performance Report.
In an open assembly, click Model > Investigate > Performance Report.
The Performance Report dialog box opens. showing the Regeneration tab and the Statistics tab. Note that there is no regeneration data the first time the dialog box is opened.
2. To view the regeneration times, click Compute. The Full Regeneration Confirmation message opens.
3. Click OK. The regeneration times (in seconds) for each component and feature appear in the table. Regeneration times are listed for all features in a part and for all components, component placement, and features of an assembly. Click the arrow to the left of a part to see the features of the part.
When you click Compute, all features in the model are fully regenerated. Depending on the model’s quality, there may be regeneration failures. Read-only features and models as well as empty models are not regenerated and do not have a regeneration time. Their Time cell is empty.
After a regeneration the components and features are sorted by the regeneration time.
Miscellaneous represents regeneration related time which is not currently accounted for by specific objects. This node appears once under the top model and includes times related to the entire structure. When you open a sub-model in a separate window, the Miscellaneous node is empty until you click Compute.
Other Items includes the regeneration times of the following items for each component: Relations, Pro/Program, Family Tables, Assembly Cuts, Flexible Components, and Mechanism.
Suppressed and Excluded components are not included in the regeneration time.
4. To view a flat list of components and features, click Flat List. You can show the top-level components and features or all levels of components and features.
5. To view the assembly component information, click Statistics. A list of the different types of components in the assembly displays the number of components for each type.
Suppressed and excluded components are not included in the statistics.
6. To export the performance report as a flat list with all levels to a .csv file, follow the steps below:
a. Select the Regeneration tab.
b. Click Flat List.
c. Click show all levels to show all levels of the flat list.
d. Click Export. The Save dialog box opens.
7. You can browse to a different location to save the file.
8. Accept the file name or type a new name.
9. Click OK.
Note how information is updated in the Performance Report dialog box:
After you click Compute, the regeneration time values remain in the Performance Report table until the next time you click Compute and perform the entire compute operation. This is true even if you closed the Performance Report dialog box and then opened it again.
When you stop the compute operation in the process, the regeneration time values in the Performance Report table may be incorrect. Some of the values may be from the current compute operation and some may be missing or outdated.
