Question

Position of flexible parts

Hi,

 

I've attached an example with two flexible assemblies. Each of these assemblies contains two parts whose x-position is controlled using a variable dimension. Now my task is to get the "actual" position as it can be seen in the main assembly. I obviously can't use wfcWComponentFeat::getPosition as this gets me the "as constructed" position. I tried to call wfcWComponentFeat::Refresh and wfcWComponentFeat::RefreshRelations before calling getPosition but this hasn't changed anything... Do i have to calculate the correct position myself or is there some kind of "trick" that i have to do in order to get the correct position?

 

Thanks,

 

Christoph

Hi everybody,

 

Maybe (probably) my description was a bit too vague. So here is a screenshot from the KE-information of one of the flexible parts in the with the information i need to retrieve:

For all non-native german speakers this roughly translates to: Flexible component Inherited by model FLEXIBLEBAUGRUPPE1.

 

I am able to get d0 and d1 but i get the default values (1000.0) instead of the inherited ones...

 

Any input would be appreciated as i ran out of ideas what else i could try...

 

Thanks,

 

Christoph

Okay my assumption you assembled on def csys, next I measured and tried to get the matrix. For me it looks okay

 

Some more details from your side would be nice 🙂

 

Take care how to create a csys and how to measure. Start with PTC defaults first. Get Up or Down is a flag as well.

# Notes if needed

# Create a Component Path Object

ps_comppath CompPath

# configure the path

CompPath config -path  "61 43"

# get the Matrix

CompPath matrix_get M

# Show all Matrix Data Index30-32 are the transformation

M config
