thread554-174634: Measure of cross sectional area along a line (ProE wildfire 3.0.)
Hello all,
I am trying to find a way to get PRO Engineer to automatically calculate cross sectional areas for a large amount of datum planes and output the area (and only the area) at each plane into some kind of readable text format. I am looking for a way that does not require me to go through the analysis x-section mass properties route and then click on every plane manually.
As some of you might have guessed, I am working on optimizing the gradient of the cross sectional area for area rule reasons with supersonic flight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Automate cross sectional area calculation in PRO E
If you want to get fancy, you could write an optimization function in Excel and create a trail file/ pro program launched from excel to varry the parameter and recalculate the area, and spit it back into Excel.
