Hello
Problem:
When I use this code to mate parts using the origin from both parts it give me
swAddMateError_IncorrectSelections
'mate using origin point does not work
'Set myMate = swAssy.AddMate3(20, -1, False, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, False, longstatus)
I can get it to mate if I use this code but the axes are not aligned
Set myMate = swAssy.AddMate3(0, -1, False, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, False, longstatus)
Any idea what I AM DOING WRONG
Thank you
Background:
I am writing a macro that will calculate all displaced water from a submerged submarine
What I am mainly interested in is Center of buoyancy that I will get from the center of gravity of displaced water. I will also get the total buoyancy
Status:
It is roughly working. I hacked code from many projects on the web. It still needs lots of refinement. It also needs many more features I will be implementing. Feel free to improve it. This is my first macro in solidworks.
Operation:
Open a assembly
Start the macro
Macro steps=
1:save current assembly as a part
2
pen part and join all elemts
3:create a encompassing cube
4:subtract the join from the cube
5:creat a bigger cube
6:subtract the first result from the second cube
7:result is the total water volume displaced
8:change material to water
9:calculate mass and center of gravity
10:add note with mass and center of buoyancy
11:add the part to the assembly
12:mate the part with the origin
i will be adding a few more features to make it more usable
files
I uploaded a test submarine assembly
Also the current state of the macro
