Write NX feature name as Object Name in Parasolid Export

[raavis]

Dear NX experts

I am trying to export a NX ".prt" file as Parasolid for CFD/FEA analysis. The objects do not have any features / parameters associated except for a feature title name like this Body(4) "FluidFlowpath".

I am trying to use a Journal file to get the feature name associated with a body such as "FluidFlowpath" and assign it as body name in Parasolid file.

few code lines from my NX file
-----CODE SNIPPET TO PRINT FEATURE NAME
'--------------
' loop through all bodies in display session
'--------------
For each obj As Body in bdyCol
bdyFeat = featCol.GetAssociatedFeature( obj )
strBodyName = bdyFeat.GetFeatureName.ToString

lw.WriteLine("Object Tag: " & obj.Tag)
lw.WriteLine("Object Type: " & obj.GetType.ToString)
lw.WriteLine("Object Name: " & strBodyName )
Next
---

The output is shown below. I could not get the feature name "Fluidflowpath" with the GetFeatureName command and get only the Body #. What is the command to extract the name "Fluidflowpath" I have associated with the Body.
-----OUTPUT
Object Tag: 27166
Object Type: NXOpen.Body
Object Name: Body(1)
Object Tag: 26889
Object Type: NXOpen.Body
Object Name: Body(2)
Object Tag: 26922
Object Type: NXOpen.Body
Object Name: Body(4)

Information about the body

There are two feature names. One is a system defined name and the other is user defined name. With your line of code strBodyName = bdyFeat.GetFeatureName.ToString you get the system name

With strBodyName = bdyFeat.Name you get the user defined name.

Hope this helps.
