Auto regenerate.....Pro/Program

[ella0509]

Hi again people.....

I've got my little assembly working using Pro/Program, but I need to Regenerate twice to get all items to re-size / move successfully, and also for mass properties to update......

Can a line be put into Pro/Program to automate this second regeneration command?? I guess not as it will no doubt go into a "loop" situation.....is their any other way around it.....the untrained user of this program may forget to do the second regen!!

Thanks,
Lee

Hello,

What we did was to have a EXECUTE ASSEMBLY as the end of the Program where you would have
EXECUTE ASSEMBLY (assembly file name)
A=A
B=B
etc
END EXECUTE

where the A, B etc is the inputs from
INPUT
A number
b number
END INPUT

Does this solve the problem, or do you need greater detail?

Hello,

Will try, in Pro-Program you will have something like this:

INPUT
ASSY_LEN NUMBER
ASSY_HOLE_DIA NUMBER
ASSY_SHAFT_LEN NUMBER
END INPUT

You will then have all your relations.

Then you write the execute part.

EXECUTE PART SHAFT.PRT
SHAFT_LEN=ASSY_SHAFT_LEN
SHAFT_DIA=ASSY_HOLE_DIA
END EXECUTE

EXECUTE PART LOCATER.PRT
LENGTH=ASSY_LEN
HOLE_DIA=ASSY_HOLE_DIA
END EXECUTE

You will then have all the features and ADD COMPONENTS.

Then at the end you should add

EXECUTE ASSEMBLY SHAFT_AND_LOCATER.ASY
ASSY_LEN =ASSY_LEN
ASSY_HOLE_DIA =ASSY_HOLE_DIA
ASSY_SHAFT_LEN =ASSY_SHAFT_LEN
END EXECUTE

This is how we do it, and ot works. Is this any clearer?
