Calculate total area of selected surface

Calculate total area of selected surface

November 11, 2013 07:40 AM

i am trying to write a macro to calculate total area of same coloured surfaces so i tried this
commands. it works but only show last area value. I want to see overall area value of
selection.i tried (i+1) vs.. but it doesnt work. How can i do that?

Sub CATMain()

Dim Selection1 As Selection

Dim spabench As SPAWorkbench

Dim mymeasure As Measurable

Dim myref As Reference

Dim myarea As Double

Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument

Dim part1 As Part

Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Set part1 = partDocument1.Part

Set Selection = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection

Selection.ClearSelection.Search ("'Topology'.Face.Color='(175,255,175)';scr")
 For i = 1 To Selection.Count2Set

myref = Selection.Item(i).Reference

Set spabench = partDocument1.GetWorkbench("SPAWorkbench")

Set mymeasure = spabench.GetMeasurable(myref)

myarea = mymeasure.Area * 1000000

AllArea = myarea

Debug.Print

Next i

MsgBox "Total_Faces_Area= " & Format(AllArea, "0.000") & ("mm2")

End Sub

thanks for your interest...

There are a few things wrong but the main one to fix it was this

Selection.Search ("(Topology.Face & Color='(175,255,175)'),scr")

Complete Code (Modified)

Dim Selection As Selection ' Selection1 declared but Selection used ... Fixed

Dim spabench As SPAWorkbench

Dim mymeasure As Measurable

Dim myref As Reference

 Dim myarea As Double

Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument

Dim part1 As Part

Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Set part1 = partDocument1.Part

Set Selection = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection

Selection.Clear   'Seperated the clear of the selection
Selection.Search ("(Topology.Face & Color='(175,255,175)'),scr")  'Fixed the search
parameters..did a manual search then saved/copied it

For i = 1 To Selection.Count2

Set myref = Selection.Item(i).Reference

Set spabench = partDocument1.GetWorkbench("SPAWorkbench")

Set mymeasure = spabench.GetMeasurable(myref)

myarea = mymeasure.Area * 1000000

AllArea = myarea

Debug.Print

Next i

MsgBox "Total_Faces_Area= " & Format(AllArea, "0.000") & ("mm2")

End Sub

Thanks for fixing, Alexandre. despite the wrong things, it works but our problem still
continues.I need to calculate overall surface area after loop. I will try to do this with loop
(using i parameter) but it gives area values partially.
 Ex: 

A face  area is 2000mm2

B face is 4000mm2 

i need A+B faces overall area value

but macro give me partial area. how can i do that?

AllArea = AllArea + myarea

If you are trying to get it inside a 3DXML this means V6 document.  I think the way to define
the partdocument is what changed.

I have not worked with Catia V6 so can't help you.
