Question

Collecting Dimension Results from Simulation, with associated features

Hello all,

I am using Feasibility/Optimization to simulate a gage interacting with the surface of a part.  The features we are gaging are taper thread holes, and they repeat on the part, but part geometry creates a different offset distance between the gage's point of contact and the gage line in the hole.

When I perform the simulation, I'm left with an offset dimension that represents the distance we need to use to set the gage value for part acceptance target.  I'm looking for a way to extract these linear dimensions and the features at either end to create a table with columns: Gage No. XX, Feature Name YY, Offset Dimension Z.ZZZ.

Can anyone offer a suggestion for how to extract this data?

 

Thanks.

This is incredibly cumbersome, a lot of work, hopeless.

Look at the pictures, you can find point coordinates through Inspect-geometry report- point.picture.jpgpicture2.jpg

The top line, behind point gives x,y, z coordinates for tghe vertex you pick.

Good luck!
