Results from 2 programs

Hello all,
Very general question.
Is anyone aware of a program that would compare the results of 2 identical
programs and show the individual point deviations in an excel file.
Example--first program would be a best fit.
2nd program would be a final.

Programs would be identical in the sense that the theoretical point locations
would be the same in both programs, but the alignments would
be different in the first and 2nd programs.

Thanks to everyone for any help offered.

  • Thanks VPT.SE and Henniger123,

    VPT.SE,
    Believe it or not, I have tried the text file approach and imported into
    Excel. I just wanted to automate it more by writing directly into the
    Excel file from PCDMIS with a script.

    Henniger123,
    I have an airfoil contour with approx 500 points. Critical, closer tolerance
    points (vector points) are best fit and manufacturing is given an adjustment
    to their undersize datum holes. (That's program 1 with a best fit).

    When the part comes back for a final inspection (program 2), with full size datum holes,
    (Alignment is now to full size datum holes),
    I want to compare the difference between the deviations of the 500 vector points
    in both programs.
    Theoretically, the 500 points should have the same deviation in both programs.
    Maybe in a parallel universe, but not in this reality.Slight smile

    Thanks for your comments.
