Using creopyson/creoson to build an assembly??

[danachee]

• Creo version: 3.0
• Creopyson version: 0.7.3
• Creoson version: 2.8.0
• Python version: 3.8.10
• Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu)

Description

This is a question, not a bug. I can't find any examples of how, if its possible, to build an assembly using only creopyson. For example, let's say I have two blocks and I want to mate them face to face, with a space between. How would I go about this?

Thanks,

What I Did

Googled "using c.file_assembly()" in various combinations

Dana, There are a few ways to do this - Coordinate Systems is the preferred way for consistency in any automation. It is possible to generically constrain things like a user would - but this requires more planning to be useful more generically. in the CREOPYSON docs : look at file_assemble - and the constrains portion as a reference. https://creopyson.readthedocs.io/en/latest/creopyson.html?highlight=assemble#creopyson.file.assemble This is a quick generic example from the main CREOSON reference : http://www.creoson.com/functions.html look up: file : assemble object : JLConstraint You should find similar in the CREOPYSON docs.

Thanks! Is there a way to pull this info from an existing assembly or component? That way I'll have a proper way of matching up what exactly should be in the JLConstraint?

[davidhbigelow]

Not sure that is 100% possible - may require some listing of feature types - which should be by "name" ... so I would not recommend that approach. Best to plan for the structure up-front and pick the most stable references that are consistent. Coordinate Systems always work and are less overhead to manage. Just my $0.02 on this. Dave

Thanks! (I'm trying to code this up for someone else. Mechanical engineering isn't my skillset!). I'll play with it to figure it out. (but a quick question, which part of the API would be relevant to Coordinate Systems usage?).

[davidhbigelow]

Not sure in CREOPYSON specifically - but it is a parallel to the standard CREOSON functionality. http://www.creoson.com/functions.html Search for "file : assemble" --- there are a few examples there for using Coordinate Systems as constraints - should be simple to implement using Coordinate System Names. Note - the files have to be in the Creo session memory before doing this... and the assembly as to be active you are assembling to. Hope this helps. Dave

Ah, Thank you so much! I see that the 'csys' name for the 'type' is the link. Feel free to close this out.
