Flexible component done by Java Toolkit

[Gucio]

Hi folks,

Please look at simple assembly flex_top_asm.asm. It contains one component flex_part2.prt. 

In part thre are defined:

a) 3 dimensions as flexible (open file in new window, then File >  Prepare > Model Properties > Flexible > Dimensions);

b) 3 parameters as flexible (open file in new window, then File >  Prepare > Model Properties > Flexible > Parameters);

Based on PTC sample I've modified method, that should be started on asm level. As a result, component flex_part2.prt will be changed into flexible one, and in Varied Items table dimensions will be shown.

Question is:

How to do it with parameters. How to add them to Varied Items table??

Sample code:.

public static void makeFlexibleComponent(int componentID) {

ComponentFeat CFeat = null;
WComponentFeat WCFeat = null;

try {
FileWriter file = new FileWriter("AssemblyItemExample.txt");
BufferedWriter fp_out_asmitem = new BufferedWriter(file);

fp_out_asmitem.write("- gucioFlexibleComponent -");
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();
fp_out_asmitem.write("==============================");
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();

Session session = pfcSession.GetCurrentSession();

/* Open top assembly FLEX_TOP_ASM.asm in Creo Session */
Model CurrModel = session.GetCurrentModel();

Assembly PAsm = (Assembly) (CurrModel);

WAssembly WAsm = (WAssembly) (CurrModel);

Features Feats = PAsm.ListFeaturesByType(Boolean.FALSE, FeatureType.FEATTYPE_COMPONENT);

Model ItemOwner = null;

for (int i = 0; i < Feats.getarraysize(); i++) {
if (Feats.get(i).GetId() == componentID) {
fp_out_asmitem.write("For Feature ID: " + Feats.get(i).GetId());
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();
fp_out_asmitem.write("With Feature Number: " + Feats.get(i).GetNumber());
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();

CFeat = (ComponentFeat) (Feats.get(i));
WCFeat = (WComponentFeat) (CFeat);

intseq seq = intseq.create();
seq.set(seq.getarraysize(), componentID);

String ItemOwnerName = ((ComponentFeat) Feats.get(i)).GetModelDescr().GetFileName();
ItemOwner = session.GetModelFromFileName(ItemOwnerName);
}
}

boolean is_flex = WCFeat.IsFlexible();

fp_out_asmitem.write(" Is Component Already Flexible ? : " + (is_flex ? "YES" : "NO"));
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();

intseq dim_id_array = intseq.create();
dim_id_array.set(0, 8);
dim_id_array.set(1, 4);
dim_id_array.set(2, 5);

AssemblyItems AsmItemArray = AssemblyItems.create();

for (int i = 0; i < dim_id_array.getarraysize(); i++) {
fp_out_asmitem.write("ABC " + dim_id_array.get(i));
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();
AssemblyItemInstructions ThisAsmInstr = wfcComponentFeat.AssemblyItemInstructions_Create(ItemOwner,
ModelItemType.ITEM_DIMENSION, dim_id_array.get(i));

AssemblyItem ThisAsmItem = WAsm.CreateAssemblyItem(ThisAsmInstr);
AsmItemArray.append(ThisAsmItem);
}

fp_out_asmitem.write("before");
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();
WCFeat.SetAsFlexible(AsmItemArray);

Dimension dim1 = ((Dimension) WCFeat.ListVariedItems().get(0));
Dimension dim2 = ((Dimension) WCFeat.ListVariedItems().get(1));
Dimension dim3 = ((Dimension) WCFeat.ListVariedItems().get(2));

dim1.SetDimValue(111);
dim2.SetDimValue(222);
dim3.SetDimValue(333);

fp_out_asmitem.write("after");
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();

fp_out_asmitem.write("==============================");
fp_out_asmitem.newLine();
fp_out_asmitem.write("-gucioFlexibleComponent-");
fp_out_asmitem.close();
return;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e + " " + e.getMessage());
}

}

Create instruction AssemblyItemInstructions_Create.

As a type use ModelItemType._ModelItemType_null.

For Parameter you need specify a name AssemblyItemInstructions.SetItemName. Maybe in AssemblyItemInstructions_Create for ItemId you can pass 0 (zero) in case of a parameters.

hi  ysinitsyn,

could you look at it?? There is still  issue 😞

[YaroslavSin]

Not sure what this mean.

From the documentation

The value of this argument is ignored for
parameter. For parameter, pass this value as _ModelItemType_null.

static final int _ModelItemType_null - Enum null value.

 Try to use

null

as the argument.

[Gucio]

I've tried earlier - no success.

What is more, I used log to get an error message

Result:

Try to create AssemblyItemInstructions_Create with any ModelItemType.

Then set a name AssemblyItemInstructions.SetItemName.

Maybe, the item type will be ignored in case of a parameters (as described in the documentation).

For me, looks like a bug in Java API. ModelItemType class don't have _ModelItemType_null. Only null

But in AssemblyItemInstructions_Create I see a check that the arguments must not be equal null.

public static AssemblyItemInstructions AssemblyItemInstructions_Create(Model paramModel, ModelItemType paramModelItemType, int paramInt) throws jxthrowable {
    if (paramModel == null) {
      throw XNullInNonOptArg.Create("ItemOwner");
    }
    if (paramModelItemType == null) {
      throw XNullInNonOptArg.Create("ItemType");
    }
    CIPRemoteComm cIPRemoteComm = CIPRemoteApp.getComm();
    CIPTransport cIPTransport = CIPRemoteApp.getTransport();
    long l = cIPTransport.obtainObjectPtr(paramModel);
    cIPRemoteComm.sendCall();
    cIPTransport.sendInt(6021);
    cIPTransport.sendObjectPtr(l);
    cIPTransport.sendInt(ModelItemType.getValue(paramModelItemType));
    cIPTransport.sendInt(paramInt);
    cIPRemoteComm.processMessages();
    return (AssemblyItemInstructions)cIPTransport.recvObject(CIPRemoteApp.getObjectMaker());
  }

hi @YaroslavSin ,

just in case you are still interested in my case, PTC has opened SPR.
