Point in Space (SPMSFP) |
||
|
Searches a space arrangement for a space in which a user provided position qualifier exists.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space Layout (SPMSA) Position Qualifier (Point) Name of Space |
|
|
Input |
||
|
Returns |
||
Space Bounding Box (SPMBB) |
||
|
Returns the bounding box of selected space in the form of an array of 6 real numbers which represent the minimum and maximum bounds.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
The space bounding box is returned in the format: Xmin Ymin Zmin Xmax Ymax Zmax Unit is mm. |
|
Total Volume (SPMMVO) |
||
|
Returns the total volume of the selected space.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
Moulded volume of space is returned. Unit is mm3. |
|
Center of Volume (SPMCOV) |
||
|
Returns the center of volume for the selected space.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
The centre of volume is returned in the format: X <value> Y <value> Z <value> Unit is mm. |
|
Net Volume (SPMNVO) |
||
|
Returns the net volume of the selected space compartment.
|
||
|
Called on |
Compartment (SPMCSA) Space (SPMSPC) If model type is Compartment. |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
Net volume of space is returned. Net volume is calculated as mould volume - structural allowance (SPMALL). Unit is mm3. |
|
Full Load Weight (SPMFLW) |
||
|
Returns the full load weight of the selected compartment.
|
||
|
Called on |
Compartment (SPMCSA) Space (SPMSPC) If model type is Compartment. |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
Full load weight of space is returned. Full load weight is calculated as net volume (SPMNVO) * permeability (SPMPER) * density (SPMDE). |
|
Floor Area (SPMCFA) |
||
|
Returns the floor area of the space as volume.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
Floor area is returned. It is calculated as volume (SPMMVO)/ (ZMAX - ZMIN) fetched from SPMBB. Unit is mm2. |
|
Area of Face (SPMARA) |
||
|
Returns the area of the selected face.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
The area of the face is returned. Unit is mm2. |
|
Adjoining Space (SPMAS) |
||
|
The adjoining Space pseudo attribute enables the user to find the SPMSPC element that is adjacent to the currently selected space in the hierarchy. Using a position qualifier which resides in the selected space as input, the attribute snaps a point to the closest face of the given point, and moves its location outside using the normal. Then, using the existing SPMSFT attribute, it finds the space in which the new point resides
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input |
Position Qualifier (Point) |
|
|
Returns |
DBRef of adjoining space. |
|
Closest Face (SPMCF) |
||
|
The closest face attribute works in a similar fashion to SPMAS in that it is called on a space and given a position qualifier. It works in a similar fashion to SPMAS, as if the attribute is able to successfully snap a point on the closest face to the given point, the DBRef of that face is returned.
|
||
|
Called on: |
Space (SPMSPC) |
|
|
Input: |
Position Qualifier (Point) |
|
|
Returns: |
DBRef of closest face to the point. |
|
Face RSO (SPMRSO) |
||
|
This attribute will return the DBRef of the RSO of the selected face. It requires no input, only for a face to be selected in the Design Explorer.
|
||
|
Called on |
Face (SPMFAC) |
|
|
Input |
None |
|
|
Returns |
DBRef of RSO. |
|
RSO Planar Panel (RSOPP) |
||
|
This attribute finds the planar panel of the selected RSO and returns it as a DBRef. It can be called on a space, face or directly on an RSO in the design explorer. Using the RSO’s face, it finds each plane, and creates a line based on the same normal and the user input point. If they intersect, a check is made to see if that intersect point is within the faces bounding box.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) Face (SPMFAC) RSO (HRSO) |
|
|
Input |
Position Qualifier (Point) |
|
|
Returns |
DBRef of the planar panel. |
|
RSO Planar Panel Thickness (RSOPPT) |
||
|
This Attribute extends the RSOPP attribute but returning the thickness of the planar panel that is found. It takes a point and uses the same technique by comparing two points via intersection. The thickness of the panel is returned as a Real value.
|
||
|
Called on |
Space (SPMSPC) RSO (HRSO) |
|
|
Input |
Position Qualifier (Point) |
|
|
Returns |
Thickness of panel as a Real value. |
