Dave, My batch processing needs are for
multiple positions of one part relative to another. Petr Krc solved the problem for rotating points within (or
outside) a given circle, but I have been thinking about a more generalised
approach. Manipulation of the points outside
of femme can take the approach Petr did, but defining the region to move may
not be very simple. My idea was to
split the model into two femm files, process one to create the movement, and
then merge them back. I downloaded
the Femm source code to take a look at the file structures, and it looks like 90%
of what I need is already there. I
can see several routes I can take, but am not sure of the implications. 1) I can write everything from
scratch. 2) I can rip the code I need
from Femme and create a separate program just to merge Fem files. 3) I can add a File->Merge
facility to Femme 4) You can add a File->Merge
facility to Femme Which are
acceptable options? Adrian. |
