Exclamation 9.04 Creating Automated Coordynate Systems

Hello Everybody,

I got a problem.
I want to create automated coordynate systems on a cyrcled inlet / outlet Plane, with Z- Direction within the flow.
The Inlet/Outlet is, as i want to automate it, not always on the same place.
It changes by angle, diameter, and length of the following tube.

Is it possible as it always is a cyrcle, to always get the centroid of the inlet/outlet, to set the csys on this place with a normal to the plane?
The Boundary also, always has the same name. So i might could automate it by using java?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Christian

Hi,
If you know how the co-ordinate system should move, then you can create a co-ordinate system and a motion. Then set it as the managed co-ordinate system in the motion. Then the co-ordinate system moves as per the defined motion.

Hope this helps.

I can get the number of Vertices on this plane.

--> surfaceMeshWidgetSelectController.getNumSelectedVe rtices();

Is there a possibility, to get three points of them, so i can create a c-sys out of this three points/vectors?

would be great, if sb. would know. :-)

Thanks alot!!!!!

Just create 3 "Surface Average Reports" for your inlet with the FieldFunction Centroid[x,y,z] to get the position of the center.

For the surface normal just look at:

Thanks for your Answer, I now get the position of the Inlet.
But there is one further problem.

The Inlet gets an extrusion, to reduce reversed flow. So the coordinates, i get are on the extrusion of the inlet. is there a posibillity, to get the coordinates of the "original" inlet?
And further... How do i get the Value of $$Area? Is it like $$Area(b_inlet_1) ??

I was thinking about moving the csys withhin the direction of the normal Vector. Or is there an easier possibility?

Best regards,

Christian
