Need a script changes body size & constraint

[AkramAero]

Hi every one,
Can anyone help please,
I have a body (3 parts) and I want to write a script
which can change part sizes and constraint (angles between parts).
Thank u

what is the goal? to make changes in hundreds of files? day by day use? for a single part you can do it more quicker without scripting.

When you write a script, you need a lot of information starting with which CATIA release, OS, licenses, clear understanding of process (belter stay near designer and see what he wants to do), is it real necessary to waste time to develop a macro or not....

Thank you for your replies.
I am not an expert in CATIA scripting. I just wanted to design a C-Wing same as the image, then, via a user interface,
I can handle the whole wing by changing spans, sweeps, aspect ratios, angles..

 

[JeniaL]

You have to understand when scripting is required and when not. The wing can be simply controlled by parameters.

Thank you JeniaL,
I know it's possible to change the parameters.
But, as I have to conduct tests on many configurations, I think that a macro where
you can change your parameters, will be much better than changing it (parameters) directly .

Then I suggest you to use vba with forms, did you tried something? I suppose nobody will loose time doing your job...

Ferdo is right. VB/forms is the way to go. Post at least part of a script.

Jenial had a good point and in your case I would go for design table for the following reasons:

That would be easy to setup (much easier than a script)
easy to switch from one config to another
easy to create new config


check online doc about design table

True what was suggested by Eric, much easier to achieve.
