Hello,
I'm working with CATIA V6 and I have a main assembly made of parts and subassemblies. Those parts and subassemblies are linked together by revolute joints.
Does anyone know how I could write a macro to find the name of the parts or subassemblies involved in a particular joint?
I took a...
Thanks lardmand363 for your reply:)
Actually, the code above belongs to CATIA V6, so documentation in V5Automation.chm (CATIA V5 API) might not have helped.
In fact, I solved this problem earlier this week.
To compute a Product mass you have to go at higher level in the product model. You...
Dear CATIA users,
I think this is an easy one, but I've been struggling with this for a very long time now. I have a product consisting of a (1) subproduct and a (2) 3dpart. I want to get mass and inertia of (1) and (2), separately, using GetInertiaElement(). I'm able to get the mass of the...
Hello CATIA users,
I work with a product which is made from a few parts. Lately, I've been struggling with this problem of defining the position and orientation of the all the parts' absolute frame with reference to each other. Let me explain...
What I would like to do is, for example...
Wow, I still don't know how to do this.
So if by chance someone knew, I would be very interested how I could accomplished that directly or indirectly...
Thanks
Hi!
Thanks again Ferdo for your reply.
For those who are wondering, I finally succeeded to write a VBA script to automate the export as STL file process. My code is very far from being efficient or beautifully designed, it's messy, I won't say I'm proud of it, but it works perfectly fine and...
Hello everyone,
I have an assembly with two parts that are linked by a revolute joint. I want to write a macro to get the orientation of the revolution axis?
Any idea how to do that?
Thanks!
Hi!
Ok, I'm sorry to bump my question on top, but I really need to find a solution on this one...
To me it's surprising that finding a solution to this problem is not straightforward, as I think it might be very likely for someone to look to automate the process of exporting part files...
Hi!
Thank you Ferdo for your reply, it's very much appreciated!
Unfortunately, I had already checked the export(Part ioPart) method and it doesn't allow a user to export a 3Dpart as a STL file. This latter method is made for the 2D exports of a section in a 3d part...
So, I guess we are...
Hello everyone,
I've been spending days trying to solve this issue. I'm trying to write a VBA script that can export a 3D part to a STL file in V6, and I'm not able to find a solution. In V5, you could use something like:
Dim myDoc as PartDocument
Set myDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument...
