Analysis - measure..... then how do you use it in relations?

Analysis - measure..... then how do you use it in relations?

(OP)
ive created an arc, which i need the length to use in further relations.

So i have used analysis, measure, add feature.

At which it moves to the model tree.

But how can i USE this measurement in relations?

many thanks

RE: Analysis - measure..... then how do you use it in relations?

Skiddy,

The syntax for relating the analysis features is as follows:

parameter_name:FID_analsysis_feature_name

Thus, if you were using the length from Analysis feature "Analysis1" it would be:

length:FID_Analysis1

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Mloew,

Were did you find this information? I was tring to find this the other night. Can't find much in the PTC online documentatiuon of what you can use in a relation or programs. Is there complete documentation of the syntax/symantics of what can go into a relation?

Andy,

Perhaps I cheated, but I went through training on Behavioral Modeling and Mechanism Design by Dr. Andreas Vlahinos, President of Advanced Engineering Solutions LLC (www.aes.nu).

Here is a link to the training class on BMX: www.aes.nu/bmx.html.

I highly recommend it!

Also, there are some free tutorials on the web:

PTC Tips and Tricks: Solving Engineering Problems with BMX (www.ptc.com/appserver/it/icm/cda/templat...)

PTC Technical Support Knowledge Base (www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/search/kdb.jsp?...) Note: you must have maintenance to search the knowledge base.

And these from the PTC Customer Care Zone (http://ptc-mss.com):

Please also take a look at the links in the FAQ PTC Pro/ENGINEER and Pro/MECHANICA internet resources (FAQ554-468)

Best regards,
