The FREESPACE Tool FORUM - MARCH 2012
What is the freespace tool: Introduction - allows to calculate the free volume of an assembly Taking count of the elements inside!
Process: Introduction - You need a closed volume! Freespace
Closing the volume: Introduction Closed volume New part in the assembly no need to modify the model
Launch Calculation: Introduction Generate a CGR of the free space of the assembly -So that we just have to measure the volume of this freespace Note that you can save the CGR in in SmarTeam but it won’t be associative
Accuracy: Introduction -The volume calculated is approximate but you can control the accuracy -The volume calculated is always smaller than the real one -Test realised on a tube 30m diameter/40m long: Calculated volume = 99.3% of real volume, calculated in 1min 30s -An FAQ is available now, explaining the whole processAn FAQ is available now, explaining the whole process

NEW EXCEL BOM EXTRACTION FORUM - MARCH 2012
Current BOM: Objectives - get an EBOM, with smarteam hierarchy - get a flat list, with global quantities - Make more attributes available - Offer possibility to chose attributes
