Hi... CREOSON (OpenSource) requires JLINK and is a bit easier to use than rolling Java code from scratch... (a lot of helper and wildcard function options built in to CREOSON to make things easier).
What you are looking to do is actually pretty simple... and you can use your language of choice to code this basic framework 'psudo code' shown here:
let asyModels = creo : list_files (filename = *.asm)
for each asyName in asyModels
- file : erase // clear creo session
- file : open (file = asyName) // open the asyName
- asyComps = bom : get_paths (file = asyName, top_level = true)
- --> report the top level bom content - or write to a file....
- continue for loop until completed
I hope all that makes sense - you can use CREOSON with any programming or scripting language - and there is a pre-build python library (creopyson) available. We are working on JavaScript web-client/Node.js library to make it even easier to focus on the workflow rather than the "code" ... here is an example : (currently beta code internally - but the process works if you roll-your-own code)
function getBomData(fileName) {
let fObj = new creo.FileObj();
let bObj = new creo.BomObj();
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
fObj.erase()
.then(() => {
fObj.file = fileName;
return fObj.open();
})
.then(() => {
bObj.file = fileName;
bObj.top_level = true;
return bObj.get_paths();
})
.then((bomData) => {
console.log('--- TOP-LEVEL BOM DATA for : '+fileName);
bomData.children.children.forEach((childModel) => {
console.log(' --> '+childModel.file);
});
})
.then(resolve)
.catch(reject);
})
}
function runTestScript() {
/// define the creoson objects to use
let connObj = new creo.ConnectionObj();
let creoObj = new creo.CreoObj();
let utilObj = new creo.CreosonUtils();
creoObj.filename = '*.asm';
connObj.connect()
.then(() => creoObj.list_files())
.then((fileResObj) => utilObj.loopItems(fileResObj.filelist,getBomData))
.catch((err) => {
console.log('ERROR : '+err);
alert(err);
});
}
Produces this output for each assembly toplevel :
--- TOP-LEVEL BOM DATA for : mhf2-16d1-m9nv.asm
--> M9VERTICALTHREEWIRECONDUC-62473.PRT
--> M9VERTICALTHREEWIRECONDUC-62474.PRT
--> FINGER_SYNCHRONIZER_PLATE-62475.PRT
--> FINGER_SYNCHRONIZER_PLATE-62476.PRT
--> PORTCUT.PRT
--- TOP-LEVEL BOM DATA for : rcp2-ra4c-i-42p-10-100-p1-s-b.asm
--> RCP2-RA4C-I-42P-10-100-P1-S-B_1.PRT
--> RCP2-RA4C-I-42P-10-100-P1-S-B_2.PRT
--> RCP2-RA4C-I-42P-10-100-P1-S-B_3.PRT
--- TOP-LEVEL BOM DATA for : na2-n12d.asm
--> NA2-N12D_1.PRT
--> NA2-N12D_2.PRT
--> NA2-N12D_3.PRT
--- TOP-LEVEL BOM DATA for : na2-n12p.asm
--> NA2-N12P_1.PRT
--> NA2-N12P_2.PRT
--> NA2-N12P_3.PRT
...
You can do the exact same process shown above with other languages using the same JSON transaction command : function and options - or natively without CRESON.
NOTE : We have NO ETA on the release of the JavaScript-specific library for CREOSON... anyone who wants to be a beta tester can just reach out via private message. But I think it is far enough along to show some working examples like above.
Hope that helps/inspires...
