What is the logic to be applied to do:

1. Find components if they have uniform or varying thickness

2. If sheet metal components given, give quickly their thickness

    Hi Jouher,


    You will have to iterate through all components, find individual thickness and write an algorithm to find which are uniform or uniform according to your requirement.  '

    You can use API: hm_getthickness to quickly get each component thickness.

    @Livil Lyle Thanks for your response. But I am pointing to CAD components

    Create midsurface of comp and use hm_getsurfacethicknessvalues to return thickness values at some fixed points of midsurface

     

    Compare the values and assign it.
