Geometry can not be generated with the given parameters

hyrro_velasquez — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 11:06:43 GMT

Good Day Maam/Sir,

I need help regards to my python code, I've been trying to create a grip point on my model so I can stretch its Overall length inside Plant3D, but unfortunately I keep having the error "Geometry can not be generated with the given parameter" When I try to place it, I think the last part of my code is the problem, "s.setLinearDimension('Length'(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))", I really don't know the right way to right the last part of my code. pls help and thanks in advance, bellow is my code.

from aqa.math import *

from varmain.primitiv import *

from varmain.custom import *

@Anonymous(Group="Support", TooltipShort="PSL_226_CS2020_T10 HANGER ROD", TooltipLong="PSL_226_CS2020_T10 HANGER ROD", LengthUnit="in", Ports="1")

@param(RODDIA=LENGTH, TooltipShort="RODDIA")
@param(Length=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Length")

def PSL_226_CS2020_T10(s, RODDIA = 16.0, Length = 500.0, **kw):

#ROD

ROD = CYLINDER(s, R=RODDIA/2.0,H=Length,O=0).rotateX(0).translate((0.0,0.0,0.0))

#port points

#s.setPoint((0, 0, 0), (0,-1, 0))

s.SetLinearDimension('Length'(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))

You are at least missing a comma between the linear parameter name and coordinates.

So this: s.SetLinearDimension('Length'(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))

should be s.SetLinearDimension('Length',(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))

Hyrro,

Please see the sections in GREEN.

I would suggest to remove the quotations from the Port count, add the @group("MainDimensions") line, and you forgot to define the ID = 'XXXXX' it needs to match the defined component name, in this case PSL_226_CS2020_T10

@group("MainDimensions")

@param(RODDIA=LENGTH, TooltipShort="RODDIA")
@param(Length=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Length")

def PSL_226_CS2020_T10(s, RODDIA = 16.0, Length = 500.0, ID = 'PSL_226_CS2020_T10', **kw):

#ROD

ROD = CYLINDER(s, R=RODDIA/2.0,H=Length,O=0).rotateX(0).translate((0.0,0.0,0.0))

#port points

#s.setPoint((0, 0, 0), (0,-1, 0))

s.SetLinearDimension('Length'(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))

You also need to uncomment the #s.setpoint and finish with a Return.

s.setPoint((0, 0, 0), (0,-1, 0))
s.SetLinearDimension('Length,'(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))

Return

Hi Sir Zeke, First of all thank you so much for your response, I try to apply it on my python script but unfortunately I still having an error, but right now its different error, "Can't find symbol for specified parts", if you don't mind, can please check again my python script for mistakes, I really appreciate your help. thank you so much.

Hi Sir Matti, thank you so much for your response, I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately still having an error, but right now its different, "Can't find symbol for specified parts". if you still have suggestion I really appreciate it, thank you so much.

Also Sir Zeke, I try to remove the "s.SetLinearDimension('Length',(0, 0, 0),(0, 0, -Length))" in the script, and it placed on Plant3D without any error, but still the component doesent contain any grip point, does the SetLinearDimension produce a grip point on the component inside plant3D?. because that's my main objective, to make a component that contains gripPoint so I can change the Length of the component inside Plant3D after placing it with a default Length. again thank you somuch

Hi, Hyrro. One more thing I noticed, you have a capital S starting SetLinearDimension, this should start with lower case. So change your lineardimension line to:

s.setLinearDimension('Length', (0, 0, 0), (0, 0, -Length))

hyrro_velasquez — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:57:31 GMT

Sir Matti, thank you so much!, all this time, That Capital "S" is the problem, that simple things I didn't pay attention to.

I'm trying to figure out this problem for so long, at last it work, also it already have a grip point inside plant3D, thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it. Again! thank you. 🙂 and GOD BLESS
