Feature Tree

CAD model are represented by a feature tree.

A model tree is composed by nodes. Each of these nodes is a build step, whose definition parameters are stored in a feature. The following model is defined with construction entities, then a pad, and a hole.

The model trees are accessible through the product occurrence by using the function A3DAsmProductOccurrenceGet, and the function A3DFRMTreeGet will populate the data structure. An array of feature trees is stored in A3DAsmProductOccurrenceData, usually there is only one feature tree by model.

A3DUns32u;
A3DAsmProductOccurrenceDatasData;
A3D_INITIALIZE_DATA(A3DAsmProductOccurrenceData,sData);
if(A3DAsmProductOccurrenceGet(pOccurrence,&sData)==A3D_SUCCESS)
{
for(u=0;u<sData.m_uiFeatureBasedEntitiesSize;++u)
{
A3D_INITIALIZE_DATA(A3DFRMTreeData,sTreeData);
A3DFRMTreeGet(sData.m_ppFeatureBasedEntities[u],&sTreeData);
//...
A3DFRMTreeGet(A3D_NULL_HANDLE,&sTreeData);
}
A3DAsmProductOccurrenceGet(A3D_NULL_HANDLE,&sData);
}

In addition, the function A3DFRMGetSpecificNodes() allows to directly get a list of features with a specific cad type. For instance, to get all features HOLE defined in the tree. In this case,

A3DUns32iSize;
A3DFRMFeature**ppFeatureNodes;
A3DFRMGetSpecificNodes(pFRMFeatureTree,kA3DFRMEnumValue_CadType_Hole,&iSize,&ppFeatureNodes);
//...
A3DFRMGetSpecificNodes(A3D_NULL_HANDLE,kA3DFRMEnumValue_CadType_Hole,&iSize,&ppFeatureNodes);

Note that A3DFRMTree object is an abstraction of A3DRiSet, so it possible to directly call the function A3DFRMTreeGet on a set

A3DEEntityTypeeType=kA3DTypeUnknown;
A3DEntityGetType(pRepresentationItem,&eType);
if(eType==kA3DTypeRiSet)
{
A3DFRMTreeDataoData;
A3D_INITIALIZE_DATA(A3DFRMTreeData,sTreeData);
if(A3DFRMTreeGet(pRepresentationItem,&sTreeData)==A3D_SUCCESS)
{
A3DFRMTreeGet(A3D_NULL_HANDLE,&sTreeData);
}
else
{
//regularRiSet
}
}

Parameters

pTree: The feature tree to query features from.

eCADType: CAD type of feature (Hole, Pattern, …).

piSize: The number of feature founds. Corresponds to the size of pppFeatureNodes.

pppFeatureNodes: An array of size piSize containing the found features (Hole, Pattern, …).

Returns

A3D_SUCCESS on success, or an error code on failure
