Know application of the part selected

[RS_9601780]

HI, 

I am selecting a face from a solid. Sometimes solid could be from Solid application and sometimes it could be from sheetmetal.

I want to know in which application this solid is created. Can someone please help me.

Thanks

Hi,

Can anyone please help me in this.

Hello!

Do you select the face from an assembly with different kind parts (regular solid and sheetmetal)?

Or from a part?

In any way: sheet metal part have specific part level parameters, for example, SMT_THICKNESS. So you can check type of the part by reading the parameter from surface owner.

Also, take a look ProSmtSurfaceTypeGet()

[RPN · Accepted solution]

extern ProError ProMdlSubtypeGet( ProMdl model,
ProMdlsubtype *subtype);
/*

Purpose: Returns the subtype of a model

Input Arguments:
model - A model pointer whose subtype needs to returned

Output Arguments:
subtype - The type of model. If the function fails, this is
set to PROMDLSTYPE_NONE.

Return Values:
PRO_TK_NO_ERROR - The function successfully retrieved the type
PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS - The input argument is invalid.
PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT - the model has no subtype
