Automatic Parameter-Generation from IGES-Import

[Mr. Konstantin Kreutzer 0]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to program an automatic framewise parametrization of the ship hull. The overall structure of my solution is divided in several sub-problems:

 

-LOOP (a sufficent number of frames in x-direction for a smooth parameter-curve)

      1.)Automatic generation of frames from the IGES-import via intersection curves with single surfaces, collected in one polyline

      2.)Generation of the parameters from the frame

      3.)Add the actual value of parameter to the parameter-curve which represents the parameter-distribution over the x-direction

END LOOP

 

-Parametrize the parameter-curves (which will be the design parameters)

 

-Create meta-surfaces from the parametrized parameter-curves.

 

For the first step in the loop, I need a way to get acces to the IGES-surfaces inside a feature-definition. Is this somehow possible by setting a scope as input for the feature or is there a way to acces the project-objects directly in the feature definition?

 

Thanks!

Konstantin

HI Konstantin,

In the features shipped with CAESES you can find an extraction of basic curves from offsets which might help you implementing your feature. For the access of iges surfaces just take an objectlist as an argument.
