[hwech]

I am trying toequate a parameter (real number) to the y coordinates of cg andget the following error


Y_Y=mp_cg_y ("", "CSO" ,"")

errorInvalid data type combination at right side of expression


Following is the help example


Using 2001. What am I missing?
a = b + mp_cg_x ("", "CS0", "").

If you are using Wildfire 2.0, the parameter you are looking for is PRO_MP_COGY.

Hm I remember that when I use this help and copy paste it into my relations there were also error. Well problem was in "" , try to type them instead copy/paste.

robertib: Thanks, but I am using 2001

Isair: Thanks, but I have tried typing it directly and it makes no difference.

I am still stuck

There is the BMX (Behavorial Modeler) orAAX module you must have to use the CG parameters. This may be your problem. To find out: Insert> Datum > Analysis If you can do this, you have the Behavorial Modeler license.

The CSO is the name of coordiante system zero. Do you have CSO in your model?

donha: Yes I do have BMX and can create a datum analysis feature


copyboy: Yes I do have CSO


Thanks, but still stuck!

CSx -- This is probably a dumb question:

LETTER "O" or INTEGER 0 ?

It will workfor sure but you need to enter the name correctly.


its CS0 (C, S and Zero) and not CSO (the name of the co-ordinate system should be exactly same)


Try this and give us your feed back.

In my model i have a co-ordinate system with a name of "PRT_CSYS_DEF" and i tried the following formula .....it worked


Y_Y = mp_cg_y("", "PRT_CSYS_DEF","")





also remember there should not be any blank space between two inverted comma (it must look like this "" .......and not like " ")


i hope this will be clear for you

Jeff and Parshu: You hit the nail on the head. I was using CSO rather than CS0(zero). The obvious always seems to be the first thing I overlook.


Thanks for all of your help!
