Part Measures

The Knowledge Expert language is designed to create Expert Checks and Rules relying on types and functions.

smartVolume and smartWetarea refer to intermediate states of a solid. smartVolume does not compute the volume of each pad contained in a PartBody but the total volume. Example: Given a PartBody containing 3 pads: The volume of Pad.1 = 0.1m3, The volume of Pad.2=0.1m3 and the volume of Pad.3=0.1m3. The Volume of Pad.3 displayed will be Pad.3=0.3M3: The volume of Pad.3=the Volume of Pad.1+ the volume of Pad.2.

Note that this applies also to smartWetarea (the total wet area is computed).

area()

This section provides you with information about area().

Returns the area of an object of CATFace type.

Syntax

This section provides you with information about length().

Returns the length of an object of CATEdge type (the edge of a cube, or the length of a spline for example).

Syntax

length(CATEdge) : Length

smartVolume()

This section provides you with information about smartVolume().

Returns the volume of a solid.

Syntax

smartVolume(elem: Solid, ...): Volume

smartWetarea()

This section provides you with information about smartWetarea().

Returns the wet area of a solid.

Syntax
