Detailed Description

Provides an interface to run several analyzer tools.

Running analyzer with zero tools added will start the shape analysis process that fill SheetMetal_Data with minimum information needed to run SheetMetal_Unfolder and SheetMetal_FeatureRecognizer with it.

SheetMetal_Unfolder and SheetMetal_FeatureRecognizer tools use same shape analysis process underhood if you pass ModelData::Shell or ModelData::Solid; they can also work with already analyzed models represented as SheetMetal_Data. Thus, if you want to use both SheetMetal_FeatureRecognizer and SheetMetal_Unfolder simultaneously, it's possible to reduce the time of analysis by using SheetMetal_Analyzer (in this case the model will be analyzed once). The resulting SheetMetal_Data could be passed into tools.

If the model is not sheet metal model than the empty SheetMetal_Data is returned. The model may be represent as a ModelData::Shell or a ModelData::Solid.

Shell shape

Solid shape

Examples

MTKConverter/Program.cs, and MTKConverter/main.cxx.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cadex::SheetMetal_Analyzer::SheetMetal_Analyzer

(

)

Constructor. Creates a machining analyzer with zero tools.

Exceptions

     LicenseManager_LicenseError if no Sheet metal license was activated.

Member Function Documentation

AddTool()

void cadex::SheetMetal_Analyzer::AddTool

(

const SheetMetal_AnalyzerTool &

theTool

)

Adds additional tool to run during analyzing process.

Adding several tools with same type increase the analyzing time but won't provide additional opportunity.

Perform()

void cadex::SheetMetal_Analyzer::Perform	(	SheetMetal_Data &	theData,
		const cadex::ProgressStatus &	theProgressStatus = cadex::ProgressStatus() )

Runs analyzing process. Updates existing sheet metal data. Nothing happens if data is empty.
