Stock size Bounding box
Stock size Bounding box
(OP)
I have been using analysing the stock size for partslist based on grip :
h ttp://www. eng-tips.c om/viewthr ead.cfm?qi d=52509&am p;page=165
but in some case the report is wrong. I have attached the grip solutions and a problem body as parasolid. The length reported should be close to 300mm and not 304mmm.
Another problem I have with this solution is when the base orientation is bad - wrong results. Any ideas, how do you manage this other solutions?

RE: Stock size Bounding box
Description
Determines the coordinates of the diagonal corners of a box containing a specified solid body, face, or edge. The box is aligned with the absolute coordinate system. This box contains the specified solid body, face, or edge. The box is usually close to the minimum possible size, but this is not guaranteed.
The system returns a six word array indicating the coordinates of the diagonal corners of the box as follows:
minimum XC coordinates of the box
minimum YC coordinates of the box
minimum ZC coordinates of the box
maximum XC coordinates of the box
maximum YC coordinates of the box
maximum ZC coordinates of the box

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Stock size Bounding box
I should read the F*** manuals and not only copy code.
How can I get better results, are the some tipps around,
to get what I need, min box (orientated) close to minmum material use.

NX4 offers the function UF_MODL_ask_bounding_box_exact(), although the results can be much slower.

I prefer any grip solution

I tried part envelope, I looked at the source, its witout solbox, but the results are not better when the body is not directed.
RE: Stock size Bounding box
I've reworked part envelope , now its ok...
