    conflictValue = NewConflict.Value

Methods


Sub GetFirstPointCoordinates( oCoordinates)
Retrieves the coordinates of the point on the first product which realizes the penetration or minimum distance.
Parameters:
oCoordinates
The coordinates of the point
  • oCoordinates(0) is the X coordinate
  • oCoordinates(1) is the Y coordinate
  • oCoordinates(2) is the Z coordinate
Example: 
    This example retrieves the first product involved in the NewConflict Conflict.
    
    Dim Coordinates (2)
    NewConflict.GetFirstPointCoordinates Coordinates
Sub GetSecondPointCoordinates( oCoordinates)
Retrieves the coordinates of the point on the second product which realizes the penetration or minimum distance.
Parameters:
oCoordinates
The coordinates of the point
  • oCoordinates(0) is the X coordinate
  • oCoordinates(1) is the Y coordinate
  • oCoordinates(2) is the Z coordinate
Example: 
    This example retrieves the coordinates in the NewConflict Conflict.
    
    Dim Coordinates (2)
    NewConflict.GetSecondPointCoordinates Coordinates
