Wetted surface area of a product
Wetted surface area of a product
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to obtain the wetted surface area of a section of an overall product. I am interested in the ability of V5 to easily output the exposed surface area in a particular bay of an aircraft. I have been using the save product as catpart function, and then spliting the solids going into the particular bay I am interested in. After that, I am generating surface data for these solids using the extract tool in the GSD. Once that is completed, I have to go back and remove the surface that are on the interior portion of the bay.
Is there an easier way to perform this function?
Thanks

Thanks for the rapid reply.
I have tried that, the problem is there are approximately 40 parts in the bay, most with many surfaces, requiring me to select every surface and add them together manually.

The one I'm recommending is in the Assembly Design workbench, and the only thing you have to do is move the sectioning the plane. It cuts all the part instances automatically.
