Find Holes and Create Spiders
Altair EmployeeOverview
This script allows the user to select comps that have holes in it, select a search tolerance, and it will then find all of the holes within those tolerances and then automatically create spiders in each of those holes.
Usage/Installation Instructions
Step 1: Select the components where you would like to find holes.
Step 2: Enter the minimum hole diameter for the search
Step 3: Enter the maximum hole diameter for the search
Step 4: It will then search for a single node per hole and make a temp node there for you. You then should inspect the results, and select the nodes you do not want to be used to create spiders.
Step 5: Then you are allowed to select additional nodes to include in the spider creation.
Step 6: It will then make a spider for every node you have selected and put them all into a new component called “Spiders”.
Limitation
You can only select and deselect the node selection once before you click "proceed" to create the spiders.
