Alternatives STL Trimesh Cutting Plane

[Alternatives STL Trimesh Cutting Plane]

Hello Karsten,

 

thanks for your answer.

It's not urgent.

[Alternatives STL Trimesh Cutting Plane]

Hello Everybody,

 

Some questions regarding STL postprocessing.

 

1. Is there a functionality available to cut a trimesh by something different than a plane, a surface of revolution for instance?

 

2. After cutting a closed trimesh the body is open. Is there a way to extract the open edges as points?

[FSurfaceCurve from Curve on Surface?]

Hello Jörg,

 

thanks for your reply. I took your feature as idea for a feature which meet my requirements.

Maybe you have some comments to it?

[FSurfaceCurve from Curve on Surface?]

Hello everybody,

 

is there an easy way to generate a FSurfaceCurve from a curve which is directly located on an surface?

I think on curve typ meridionalcamber which is developed along a Surface of Revolution (meridian contour)?

This would be fine to generate the hub or shroud surface for a rotational periodic blade passage.

Hi Jörg,

 

I thick this would be a nice feature. Often I want to plot clearly different curves, where their ranges not match. So I plot them in different coordinate systems. For me it is important to have them visible in one view.

 

E. g. I plot an angle distribution over the sweep of a blade, most of the ploted csys is not necessary. Y-range from 0-30 and X-range from 0-150. The same thing is with the visualization of a blade profiling. Blade length 100 and profile heigth maybe 10% of the length.

Hello,

 

one short question.

 

Is it possible to display a csys with non equivalent axis? That means different extensions of the axis?

[CAESES System Variables]

Hi Arne,

 

if I do not specity the file in the software connector it is not transfered into the computation input directory.

It will be only available in "$WORKINGDIR/manual_results/baseline/input".

But in my understanding this should be OK.

[CAESES System Variables]

Hi Arne,

 

thank you for the demonstration file.

This is exactly what I'm doing.

My problem was to specify this file in the Software Connector ;-) as input for a computation.

 

I'm starting the computation, first Feature is running for file output after that in the same computation external mesh generation is starting with this input file.

 

"$WORKINGDIR/manual_results/baseline/input/filename" -> This is what I specify in the software connector.

Do you have a better solution for that?

[CAESES System Variables]

The feature writes a file correctly into ".../baseline/input".

This file should be an input file for a configuration independent of the frameworks file name.

I have to specify this file relatively.

Now I'm using "$WORKINGDIR/manual_results/baseline/input/filename".

This is working.

[CAESES System Variables]

Hi Arne,

 

env() was excactly what need. Thank you.

 

I write from a feature into the input directory.

Than I need to specify this file as an input file for a computation.

To specify this file independently from the design engine I will now using "$DESIGNDIR/input/*".

Hello,

 

I'm looking for an information about predefined system variables in CAESES.

One I know is $PROJECTDIR.

 

I'm missing $INPUTDIR.

[Manipulate path of result files]

Hello Ben,

 

sorry, I mean the result value file.

This is in the subfolders and it could not be found from the framework.

 

Toni

[Manipulate path of result files]

Hello,

 

How it is possible to change the path of a result file which is configured in a computation?

In case of Fine/Turbo my result files are in the computation directory in subfolders. (comp_dir/folder1/folder2/result_file.txt)

At the moment Framework could not find these files.
