Hello Everyone,
I have some applications which require identification of mating faces between 2 components in an assembly. There are no assembly constraints used for the assembly. These 2 components are simple touching. I wanted to know if someone in the group is aware of some NX API that can determine mating faces quickly.
We are currently employing a strategy, where-in we loop through all the solid bodies and get its faces. Then we compare each face in one component with the other component, measure the distance, compare the face normals and then determine mating.
I also wanted to check if we can employ some form of NX based rules to do this task.
Please let me know if someone has a better approach to my problem.
Cheers,
Amitabh
