Demonstrates how to perform machining design analysis on a 3D model and print information about found issues and their parameters in a console.
Overview
In this example demonstrates how to perform machining design analysis on a 3D model using machining dfm analyzer tool (DFMMachining_Analyzer). For this purpose, used a console application that imports a STEP model, traverses through unique ModelData::Part , creates and runs DFMMachining_Analyzer, groups and prints information about found issues and their parameters into console. Machining design analysis will be performed for each unique ModelData::Part , but only for the scope of accepted geometries.
Application needs 2 input arguments to run:
Usage: machining_dfm_analyzer <input_file> <operation>, where:
<input_file> is a name of the file to be read
<operation> is a name of desired machining operation
Supported operations:
milling: CNC Machining Milling feature recognition
turning: CNC Machining Lathe+Milling feature recognition
For more information about machining design analysis visit Design for Manufacturing (DFM) page.
Implementation
PartProcessor class is inherited from SolidProcessor and overrides ProcessSolid method that are used to run design analysis on given shape.
To reduce computation time, Machining_Data will be used as an input argument to perform design analysis. Machining data contains information about found features, therefore, the first step is to run Machining_FeatureRecognizer. The Machining_FeatureRecognizerParameters.SetOperation() method of the tool parameters is used to set the type of operation (Milling or LatheMilling). The operation type will be taking into account during recognition process and the recognition result will be different depending on it.
Once feature recognition is done, design analysis is run for various sub-processes (drilling / milling / turning). CombineFeatureLists method is used to combine issues from design analysis of different sub-processes.
After design analysis is performed, PrintIssues method is used to print information about found features and their parameters in a console.

To traverse only unique parts of the imported model, the ModelData::ModelElementUniqueVisitor class is used.
PartProcessor aPartProcessor;
ModelData::ModelElementUniqueVisitor aVisitor (aPartProcessor);
aModel.Accept (aVisitor);
After performing design analysis, the object of FeatureGroupManager class is used to group and sort found issues. For this purpose, there is a traverse through all found issues and add each of them to FeatureGroupManager with a specified name.
