Hello everyone,
I want to get a series of area data of a face, details are as follows:
(1) the model is a square frustum, I want to get the area of the top face(Face 0, yellow face shown in the Figure 1) under different heights(distance between top face and bottom face, which is shown in Figure 2);
(2) I created a plane(plane 1 in Figure 2) which is parallel to the top face, a sketch created on the plane is extruded to remove the all the entity above the plane, and then I can get the area of new top face(shown in Figure 3 and 4);
(3) the plane moves along the y axis in certain step size, for example, d = 5mm, then I can get the area of top face in d=5, d=10,d=15..., besides, every time I get an area, I copy and paste it in a txt or word document.
The problem is: If the height is very large and the step size is very small, for example d = 0.5mm, in this situation, I need to do the same action so many times, it’s very time-consuming and annoying, is there a way that can auto-measure and save the data?
Thanks!

Hi, tbraxton
I used your method, it’s useful, but now I only realize semi-automatic, there two problems:
(1) For regenerative, I need do it manually, I saw your previous comment that automatic increment of parameter is realized by Pro/Program, but I do not know how to start this, is there any example or tutorials?
(2) Is there a way that can auto-export the measured area for each step? (PS: I have no right to read the article in the link you provided)
I uploaded what I can do now in vedio, please play it, thank you!
To see the logic of Pro/Program in the rocket motor example (or any model) you must use this command shown in the picture below.
