scan for high point

[thenettrainer]

I did a scan over a curved surface at 1 cross section.

I’d like to find the highest point in Y axis of the scan, and be able to use that high point later as a construct. (As opposed to searching for hipt with the hipt function)

Can I do this without writing a VB script? If not, is there a copy of a script around anywhere?

try this

This was from an earlier post -

ASSIGN/MAXY = MAX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].Y)
ASSIGN/MAXYPT = MAXINDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].Y)
ASSIGN/MINY = MIN(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].Y)
ASSIGN/MINYPT = MININDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].Y)
COMMENT/REPT,
,MAXY
,MAXYPT
,MINY
,MINYPT


Obviously, you want to substitute your own scan feature name in place of SCN1. This example is based on finding the MIN and MAX Y values in a scan, but with the correct syntaxc it will work for your case also.

Thanks my friend!

Hey Wayne... How's things going in Ohio? Still the same here in good ol' VT

re: SCAN HIGH POINT

Hi.

You could simply dimension the scan and implement the "max / min" attribute,
then create a generic point from this.


The code below works well for me, this is to find an high point in " X plus ".

SCN1 =FEAT/SCAN,LINEAROPEN,SHOWHITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO
MEAS/SCAN
BASICSCAN/LINE,SHOWHITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO
ENDSCAN
ENDMEAS/

ASSIGN / NUM = SCN1.NUMHITS
ASSIGN / C = 1
ASSIGN / YMAX = 0
WHILE / C< = NUM
IF / SCN1.HIT [C].X > XMAX
ASSIGN/XMAX = SCN1.HIT[C].X
ASSIGN/YCORD = SCN1.HIT[C].Y
ASSIGN/ZCORD = SCN1.HIT[C].Z
END_IF/

COMMENT/OPER,NO ,XMAX
,YCORD
,ZCORD
ASSIGN / C = C+1
END_WHILE /

ASSIGN / V1 = -24

Z3 =GENERIC / POINT, DEPENDENT,RECT,$
NOM/XYZ,4.157,-18.007,608,$
MEAS/XYZ, XMAX, YCORD, V1,$
NOM/IJK,1,0,0,$
MEAS/IJK,1,0,0

Whatever works best!
