How to get the file name of an exported mesh

Hi guys! I have a collection of parts that I meshed using the mesh workbench and exported to different ASCII STL Format files. When they're exported, a copy of each mesh appears in the file where I have the collection of parts, so, is there an instruction to get the filename I used to export each me...

Re: Doubts on getting the center of mass and inertia matrix

Thanks! It is also important to write this:

Code: Select all

import FreeCAD as App
Otherwise it'll give an error concerning App.

Re: Doubts on getting the center of mass and inertia matrix

How can create a a function like Calc_Inertia("part",density) to automate the process of the calculation? I have the following code into a .py file, but it seems I'm doing something wrong. def Calc_Inercia(parte,densidad): list=App.ActiveDocument.getObjectsByLabel(parte) shape=list[0].Shap...

Re: Doubts on getting the center of mass and inertia matrix

Thanks for your complete answer. One last thing: What are the units of the density value Freecad uses? Because I'm using milimeters as my length unit, so I don't to mess the calculation due to this :lol:

Best regards,

Charlie

ASCII stl selection when exporting

Hi guys! I had a bad time trying to export the freecad's parts into STL that were compatible with some utility programs for Matlab/Simulink. Matlab can actually handle STL in binary format, but no these useful programs. So, after hours trying with the classic File->Export, I found out that the Mesh ...

Doubts on getting the center of mass and inertia matrix

Hi guys! I'm trying to model the parts of a biped robot, but for simulation purposes using Simmechanics it is required to get the inertia tensor and the center of gravity of the parts. I found here in the forum that there're some instructions that can do the work, but I have some doubts about the re...

Re: Errors with Cmakelists.txt

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits and synaptic pointed Pyside-tools out as the pyside-dev package and that is what I installed. There is NO pyside installed in the directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake even though I installed a bunch of pyside packages, including pyside-tools.

Any suggestions?
