Do a lot of you use the check for duplicate models capability in ModelCheck? If so, does it work well for you? Anyone know of any good videos/information demonstrating this capability?

We have been investigating this. I have looked at geometry search through ModelCheck.

Although it does search for duplicate models the feature is limited. Part of the problem is the model has to have the density added to every model.

There were also issues between builds of Creo 2. In M110 I only get the Search for duplicate models check in ModelCheck. But in M170 I also get the Duplicate Models check in ModelCheck.

As I mentioned ModelCheck doesn't give you alot and therefore we started looking at other software. We are getting close to making a decision. Yes, it does cost more but for us it is worth it.

The interface looks to be bare bones, but in your experience, how good is it at identifying something that you would consider duplicate/similar geometry?

We add the density (included in the material file) to our CAD files as SOP, so that isn't a problem.

We are on Creo 2, M210 as well.

What other software solution are you also looking at?
