You can compute mean
dimensions of a 3D shape using the Mean Dimensions command.
Before you begin: You must define the tolerances
on a 3D shape before computing mean dimensions. It allows you to activate the mean dimensioning system. For more information about tolerances,
see 3DEXPERIENCE
Native Apps User's guide.
Before computing mean dimensions, apply the Edit
Parameters contextual command to the feature of interest to
display parameters, then take a look at the 3D shape you have opened.
The 3D shape includes three tolerance parameters as shown below.
Tip:
To access tolerance values,
double-click the parameter of interest, then use the Tolerance >
Edit contextual command.
Click Mean Dimensions in the App Options panel.
A warning message appears informing you the active dimensioning system. It also gives you an option to either convert the active dimensioning system or retain it.
Click Yes to resize the 3D shape to mean dimensions.
An additional message appears to inform you that the operation is
performed and prompts you to update the 3D shape.
Click OK to close the message window.
Click Update All
in the standard area to integrate the modifications to the 3D shape.
Note:
The update options set for your session do not affect the Mean Dimensions command
behavior: you always have to explicitly update your 3D shape. Mean dimensions are displayed around the
3D shape.
Tips:
If you want to go back to the previous state, click Mean Dimensions
again. The 3D shape will be resized to nominal dimensions. Original tolerance values, when re-computed, are
always
expressed in numerical values.
To ensure that you can run the command properly, do not use
features having the same name.
If parameters are driven by formulas, the appdeactivates these formulas to compute mean dimensions.
