Module mass_geometry 

Which geometry file a revision’s mass is computed from (pure rules).

The 3D files of a revision are grouped by model: files whose normalised stem is the same (box.prt, Box.SLDPRT, box_rev-B.stp) are one model in several formats. One model is picked automatically (format rank, the user’s preferred CAD program breaks ties between native formats); files of several models are ambiguous and add nothing until a file is chosen, because the mass of one arbitrary part is worse than none. A candidate that is probably the whole assembly (the root of the file references of the revision, or named like the item) is suggested.

Structs

CandidateOut

GeometryInfo

How the geometry file of a revision was decided, for the page, the exports, REST and MCP.

Group

Several files of one model, best first.

GroupOut

Hints

What the choice of a revision’s geometry file knows besides the files.

Resolution

Enums

Pick

The result of the choice.

Functions

groups

Groups the candidates by model, each group best file first.

info

Describes a resolution; the candidates are listed when ambiguous or when with_groups is set.

normalise_stem

File name without extension, lower case, _, - and spaces folded to single spaces and a trailing revision (rev-D, _rev_B, revB) removed. Creo version extensions (.prt.5) are dropped as well.

reference_roots

The files of a revision that look like the root of an assembly: they reference other files of the revision (by name) and no other file of the revision references them. files are (id, file name), references are (referencing file id, referenced name).

resolve

Chooses the geometry file of a revision from its candidates.
