Fabric Flat Pattern automation

Fabric Flat Pattern automation

Fabric Flat Pattern automation

(OP)
Hi All,

I'm trying to automate a process to export composite flat patterns from a family of parts. The process is extract a face that represents the plie outer face, intersect is with the reference planes, create a flat pattern from it and then export the result as dxf.

I was hopping to use a journal to do the job (we have about 400 plies to plot...) but as the function Fabric_Flat_Pattern is not parametric, I don't know how to add it in the journal...

Anyone has a trick to do that?

Thanks,

Ben
