pro/program

[malex75]

Hello to everybody.
I am a mech Engineer. I work in Italy in a mech factory.
I use Pro-E since 2001 but I am new in Pro/program.
I have to solve this issue. I have an assembly with two parts (part A and part B).
I
have to rotate these these two parts on their axis. After that I have
to make a boolean operation A-B. No problem to do this one time.
After this, I have to rotate another time of a little quantity theta and repeat the boolean operation. And so on for 2000 times.
So
the problem is that I don't know how create an automatic process to
repeat this operation 2,000 times (each time rotating of this little
quantity).
Could anyone give me a Help?
thanks in advance

Not exactly what you need but some info for Pro-Program:
Pro- Program

If you come-up with any condition, you can do that by using IF/ELSE statement in program

 

[bfairhurst]

sounds like you could do this with a mapkey, record the steps it takes to complete once through, save, then go into the config.pro file and cut and paste the steps as many times as needed.

The two parts have constant angular velocity. I could simulate in
Pro/mechanism the rotation of the parts but is it possibile simulate
removing the interference between the two parts?

Any reply?

You can create an envelope object from a moving part in
mechanism. I would create a small step in your mech
analysis and output a high quality envelope object (creates
a facet model, similar to an stl) You wont be able to
directly use that to cut out the model but it will be a
decent guide to help create a feature/surface to cut the
model where it interferes.

If you wanted to use pro/program use a simple relation for
the angle like d1=d1+1, then regen like 2000 times, you
could create a mapkey that regens 2000 times, create it
using notepad.

You find attached the assembly with the animation in pro-mechanics.

Please can you modify it in order to achieve my result?

The yellow part, after the procedure, must become a gear.
I prefer to do with the Pro/program procedure, but I don't know how make it.
If you could give me the program, would be great!

thanks in advance

This is the video of the animation.

This seems to me to be a very odd way of doing things. Are you trying to model a part that is a gear?

 

[malex75]

Oh no...is only an example in order to understand how make a kind of work.
thanks

Could you please give me an example of this kind of programming?
I uploaded also my assembly, as example.

I have tried to make this relation. It works so that now with the regeneration the model moves automatically. But the problem is that at each regeneration I havto to do the "cut out" between the two parts (menu --> modfy--> operation with components).
So I created a Macro for this operation; but when I call the macro, Pro/E ask me for the two parts!!!, so If I want to repeat the macro 1000 times, I should click 1000 times the two parts?
IS there a solution for you?

thanks

Create amechanism and add a motor to it.

Ok I have just dome this. But after?
How solve my problem?
