This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. I totally forgot that I can make a folder for a weldment and it would be in the cutlist. Last night I was coding an alternative by searching the faces of the weldment feature to get the bodies which then I could change the color and select and add them...
I think I would still have a problem because of vBodies = swModel.GetBodies2(). I renamed the CreateSketch subroutine to CreateSpiles and put the CreateWeldment and Apply Color subroutines inside the worksheet loop. Every worksheet loop needs to run those subroutines. The GetBodies2 still finds...
Wouldn't applying color to the Structural Member Feature color every body of that feature the same? I will be pulling color data from my Excel file that will eventually color every body differently.
Edit: Worst case scenario is that after creating all the bodies, within the For Each vBody loop...
I do have one other problem that I have been trying to figure out. One of the additions I made was to turn off automatic cutlist creation and moved the bodies into a folder having the same name as the Worksheet name. If I have multiple Worksheets for multiple spiles, I'm able to go through them...
That worked perfectly. Thank you very much. I know my code was a bit sloppy to look at. I had intended to place the lines of code that worked together into subs once I was finished. You saved me time doing that, thank you again.
I'm stuck on a coding project for work. The task is to create cylinders along each segment of a line in the 3d Sketch. Each body will be colored based off of some values in a table, which I don't have right now, so I am instead trying to assign a color.
First problem is that I can't get the...
I meant to include tunnel specifics. The tunnel is 12' diameter and is in rock, lined with concrete. I will have to double check with the load capabilities of the concrete walls. Unfortunately I was handed this project July 29th and they would like something by August 8th as far as...
I'm needing to design a bridge type structure that is to be used inside of a tunnel. The purpose of the bridge is to allow work to be done on a small section of the tunnel floor while allowing equipment to pass up and over. The bridge will have ramps at either end of the 20' length for small...
Is there a way to get the face/surface that a projected curve is created on? I would assume there is since I can right click on the curve in the feature tree and view it's parent/child relationship. I tried setting the curve as a feature (swFeat) and then get it's parents through arr =...
I'm not too familiar with using the SolidWorks simulation tools and would like some feedback on these setups. The first simulation has a 56,000 lbf load applied upwards to a circular region on the bottom face of the L angle. The second simulation has a 56,000 lbf load applied to a region of the...
I am in need of guidance performing a structural simulation on a scaffold. The end result is to determine the maximum loading the scaffolding can undergo. I am having problems running the simulation.
Details:
Scaffolding is composed of two sides, each of which are created by welding together...
I would still have to add in gravity correct? I guess I would need gravitational loading of the scaffold itself while applying a remote load/mass to the 4 plates. Am I understanding this correctly? I have attached an updated version of the scaffold if you or anyone else is interested in this...
I will try the remote mass. My first attempt was using beams but ran into an error, I can't remember what it was. For the remote load/mass is the load cumulative? The total loading value that I calculated, is that applied to each of the four faces I select or is it cumulative?
I'm trying to run a structural study and I am a little confused this being my first time doing this. There are 4 identical scaffolds made with A36 steel. The bottom scaffold supports the top three as well as a volume of water having a weight of 15689.59 lbs. I need to figure out the maximum...

I actually need to cut a tunnel through the surface. I have the sketch of the tunnel and I created an extruded surface. I used the trim tool to try and make this cut but SW keeps crashing. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do this. I also have been trying to convert this surface to a...
Wow. I really appreciate all of this. I am limited with available software. I may have to stop into work tomorrow and see if I can get into the office to work on this a little.
Thanks a bunch Brad. I literally have spent 3 days working 12 hours doing data manipulation trying to figure out how to get a 3D model. You are a life saver.
