Catia V5 transformation matrix

Catia V5 transformation matrix

Catia V5 transformation matrix

(OP)
Hi, Is it possible to view the transformation matrix for parts that have been moved within a product. Is there a command to see this or a Catscript that will report it back to me. I would like to see the matrix a bit like when you select on the links in a VPM PSN graph and look at the transformation. Thanks

RE: Catia V5 transformation matrix

It's under Object.Position.GetComponent.  This will return the 12 components of the transformation matrix into a single array.

RE: Catia V5 transformation matrix

It is also possible to do it via KnowledgeWare, although not obvious.  If you have two axis systems in one part (for instance, if you external-reference another part's axes system), you can ask the secondary axes (not the high-lighted one) for its matrix parameters.  If you use the parameters explorer or the KW dictionary on the axes, you can see and reference a11, a12, a13, etc.

Warning:  I have had a problem with this not updating, but I believe that it is an problem with the installation, rather than with the method.

Regards,

Mike
