bulk item, paint values

[sendhil_84]

To get the painting area of a component in assm., i createdone bulkitem andin inserted in assembly. While inserting thebulk item, i cant able to select all those surfaces to calculate the surface area of a component. Is there any method to calculate the whole surface area of a component? and how to retrive those parametric values in detailing?

bulk component won't help you to calculate the surface area of any component.


bulk part is just like a liquid you want to store in a container ( i hope you can understand)

"To calculate the whole surface area of a component" in assembly:


1. Activate component


2. Analysis - Model Analysis - Compute - Add Feature


To retrive those parametric values in detailing:


Add note "&surf_area:FID_xxx:yyy" where xxx - feature ID of added analysis feature, yyy - sesion ID of component.


You can create bulk itemand specify parameter "paint_mass" or "..._volume"using parameter"surf_area:FID_xxx:yyy" in relation.

I cant get the session id in the parametric note. surface area iscoming.....

To Determine the Session ID of a Model in Assembly Mode:
<DIR>


With an assembly open, click Tools > Relations. The Relations dialog box opens.


Click Show > Session ID. The MODEL INFO menu appears.


Select one of the following object types:


Assembly


Part


Skeleton


Select a component. The name and Session ID of the object appear in the message window.</DIR>
