Part Measures  

  This topic provides you with information about Part Measures functions.

smartVolume and smartWetarea refer to intermediate states of a solid. smartVolume does not compute the volume of each pad contained in a PartBody but the total volume. 
Example: Given a PartBody containing 3 pads: The volume of Pad.1 = 0.1m3, The volume of Pad.2=0.1m3 and the volume of Pad.3=0.1m3. The Volume of Pad.3 displayed will be Pad.3=0.3M3. The volume of Pad.3=the Volume of Pad.1+ the volume of Pad.2+ the volume of Pad.3.

Note that this applies also to smartWetarea (the total wet area is computed).
area(CATFace) : AREA
Returns the area of a solid.

Example
length(CATEdge) : LENGTH

Example
  •  
 smartVolume(elem: Solid, ...): Volume
Returns the volume of a solid.

ExampleTotal_Volume=smartVolume(PartBody)
Total_Volume= smartVolume(PartBody\Pad.1)
Total_Volume=
smartVolume(PartBody)

  •  
 smartWetarea(elem: Solid, ...) : Area
Returns the wet area of a solid.

Example
Total_Area=
smartWetarea(PartBody\Pad.1 )

GeometricFeature.GetSubElements(dimension : Integer) : List
Returns sub-elements of a feature.
Whenever the object the function is applied to is updated, the order of the rendered sub-elements can change.

Example
GeometricFeature.GetSubElements(dimension : Integer) : List
Returns sub-elements of a feature. An integer argument specifies the type you want:
  • vertex (0)
  • edge (1)
  • face (2)
Whenever the object the function is applied to is updated, the order of the rendered sub-elements can change.

Example
let subElements (List)
subElements = PartBody\Pad.1.GetSubElements(0)
subElements = PartBody\Pad.1.GetSubElements(1)
subElements = PartBody\Pad.1GetSubElements(2)
GeometricFeature.ListParents() : List

Example
let parents (List)
parents = PartBody\Pad.1.ListParents()
