RE: How to get average result of section
I want to measure the average X-modulus stiffness within a specific part at different sections. This looked possible with the measuring face feature as it allows to take the average result over an entire face:
However, this only works for faces on the outside of the part. When making a section of the part by clipping or slicing, the measuring face feature is not available.
Is there a workaround or different feature I should use? I’d rather not work with individual probes.
The function “measuring face” would only work on surface mesh.
To achieve your purpose, there could be two ways to work it around.
1.Scatter multiple probes and find the average value of the probes
The probe function is supported in both clipping and slicing functions
Users could use the “Distribution” function, add the group of probes, show the target result and export it as CSV file.
Utilize the data in CSV file to calculate the average value
2.Separate the geometry in the area you want to observe in pre-processing
So, you could utilize the “Measuring Face” to estimate the average value of the target surface.
Please note that the surface mesh between two separated parts needed to be matched with one another.
