I am reading info from a text file and modifying dimensions and
parameters in a model.
II have it working fine setting a parameter using the following code
(with the line from a text file passed using scanner);
String parameterName = lineScanner.next();
String parameterValue = lineScanner.next();
ParamValue pV;
Parameter p;
pV = CreateParamValueFromString(parameterValue);
p = skeletonModel.GetParam(parameterName);
p.SetValue(pV);
But how do I get this to do the same with a dimension that has been
given a name (i.e. not just d1). The Symbol of the dimension is d1 and
I have successfully set the dimension to a value using it's symbol
name.
How do I translate the "parameter name" into this symbol name?
Looks like I need to use the GetSymbol() method but this only works on
the object type of "Dimension"
I know this is correct;
String parameterName = lineScanner.next();
double parameterValue = lineScanner.nextDouble();
ParamValue pV;
Parameter p;
pV = pfcModelItem.CreateDoubleParamValue(parameterValue);
String dimSymbol = dim.GetSymbol();
p = currModel.GetParam(dimSymbol);
p.SetValue(pV);
Question is how to code the following line correctly;
Dimension dim = (parameterName);
