Hey Pro/Users!
I have a big problem. Everyoneat mywork thinks I know the Pro/smartguy module. I have been faking by using the PTC/User module instead... Add to this problem that we are still in Pro/E 2001.
Problem: We need to find the coordinates for the center of pressure on our air vehicle.
It sounds a lot tougher than it is... All it really means is that I need the 2D cross-section of our air vehicle and then find the center of area.
The plot thickens...
Pro/E has a built in analysis function that gives you the center of area called "X-Section Mass Properties" That is so close to what I need it is silly!
The problem is that I need the X-sectional mass of the Profile. I need to Project the cross-section not take a real cross-section...
For a real cross-section of a pipe profile, you would see two thin lines that would look like the cut area if you cut a pipe in two. I need a projected cross section. Same pipe would look like a side view instead of a cross section... (big rectangle with pipe's dimensions instead of two thinlines that make up the pipe wall) The equivalent would be that I need all equipment that is not on the buttline to be projected onto the buttline. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Frederick Burke
