Hi ,
i'm trying to create a journal that can detect all bodies in an assembly that have a similar geometry as a reference body ,
but it seems that i'm not progressing , any ideas ?
thanks.
Hi,
yes i was thinking the same , and i found a function that can calculate the faces area , so i can compare them to be more accurate , the functions name is UF_SF_face_ask_area , but i have difficulties to crate it .
as an answer to your question, the parts does not to be exactly similar but i think ,if i can calculate the areas of faces i will be able to filter them , because the dimensions of these parts are much smaller then the other parts.
as an exemple, these parts are flanges providing connections between the tubes.
This may be a bit overkill, but have you ever looked into our 3D Geometry Search engine, Geolus? This capability is fully integrated into NX under the...
The function UF_SF_face_ask_area, measures the area of a polygon face (probably not what you are looking for unless you are comparing meshed FEA parts).
Perhaps a MeasureFaceBuilder object would get what you want.
