I created a macro which calls the properties of my part with this code:
ReferenceProduct.PartNumer
ReferenceProduct.Revision
Now I need to call the Mass of the part. Which Code could I use? Maybe something like ReferenceMass.Mass... ReferenceProduct.Mass.. ?? I can´t find the code that will work.
In advance, Thank you!
You can calculate the mass from the inertia:
Dim objInertia As Inertia
Dim objProd As Product
Set objProd = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Product
Set objInertia = objProd.ReferenceProduct.GetTechnologicalObject("Inertia")
MsgBox objInertia.Mass
Function GetTechnologicalObject("Inertia") can crash easily if the object is not correctly defined, like if the product has no material defined. To prevent this, wrap it in a nice function.

So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)
I'm facing a very concrete problem with python-click 8.1.3. The helptext created by Click wastes too much column space when an option name is a tad long. Depicted in picture below:
I trace into Click's source code, and pinpoint a hardcoded value in HelpFormatter.write_dl(), the col_max parameter determines first-column max-width, which is 30, and I hope to reduce it to 16.
As a Click-library user, how can I achieve this without modifying Click's source code? Maybe some class inheritance or patching trick?
Thank you in advance.
You can do something like this:
class MyHelpFormatter(click.HelpFormatter):
def write_dl(self, rows, col_max=5, col_spacing=2):
super().write_dl(rows, col_max, col_spacing)
click.Context.formatter_class = MyHelpFormatter

GAMS: I think I have a pretty simple question, however I'm stuck and was wondering if someone could help here.
A simplified version of my model looks like this:
set(i,t) ;
parameter price
D;
variable p(i,t)
e(i,t);
equations
Equation1
obj.. C=sum((i,t), p(i,t)*price);
Model file /all/ ;
Solve file minimizing C using MIP ;
Display C.l;
p(i,t) and e(i,t) are related:
Equation1 .. e(i,t)=e=e(i,t-1)+p(i,t)*D
Now I want to retrieve information from the solution: lets say I want to know at what t e(i,t) has a certain value for example --> e(i,t)= x(i) or otherwise formulated e(i,t=TD)=x(i) find TD, where x(i) thus is depending on i. Does anyone know how I can write this in to my GAMs model? To be clear I do not want to change anything about my solution and the model I have runs; I just want to retrieve this information from the solution given.
So far I tried a couple of thing and nothing worked. I think that this must be simple, can anyone help? Thank you!
Try something like this:
set i /i1*i10/
t /t1*t10/;
variable e(i,t);
*some random dummy "solution"
e.l(i,t) = uniformInt(1,10);
set find5(i,t) 'find all combinations of i and t for which e.l=5';
find5(i,t)$(e.l(i,t)=5) = yes;
display e.l,find5;
Hope that helps,

I am using JES and am wondering what built in function I should use to make this effect work.
newG=(oldG+(abs(x*y*2.57901)%64))%256
So far I have this code
def forLoop():
picture = makeEmptyPicture(300,200)
show(picture)
for p in getPixels(picture):
setColor(p,black)
repaint(picture)
for p in getPixels(picture):
oldG=(p)
newG=(oldG+(abs(x*y*2.57901)%64))%256
repaint(picture)
The error I get is
The error was:x Name not found globally.
A local or global name could not be found. You need to define the function or variable before you try to use it in any way.
you'll need to define the local names for x and y to be able to get the newG color, hope this helps
coding is something like this:
x= getX(p)
y= getY(p)
I've been looking throught the documentation, but can't seem to find the bit I want.
I have a for loop and I would like to be able to view every value in the for loop.
for example here is a part of my code:
for d = 1 : nb
%for loop performs blade by blade averaging and produces a column vector
for cc = navg : length(atbmat);
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
atbvec2(:,cc) = atb2;
end
%assigns column vector 'atbvec2' to the correct column of the matrix 'atbmat2'
atbmat2(d,1:length(atbvec2)) = atbvec2;
end
I would like to view every value of atb2. I'm a python user(new to MATLAB) and would normally use a simple print statement to find this.
I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I can't quite find how.
Thankyou in advance.
you can use disp in Matlab to print to the screen but you might want to use sprintf first to format it nicely. However for debugging you're better off using a break point and then inspect the variable in the workspace browser graphically. To me, this is one of Matlab's best features.
Have a look at the "Examine Values" section of this article
The simplest way to view it everywhere is to change this line:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
Into this, without semicolon:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg
That being said, given the nature of your calculation, you could get the information you need as well by simply storing every value of abt2 and observing them afterwards. This may be done in atbmat2 already?
If you want to look at each value at the time it happens, consider setting a breakpoint or conditional breakpoint after the line where abt2 is assigned.
