Compute Utility Routine

Toolpath-mesh intersection utility routines are used to activate the toolpath-mesh intersection module and to access data computed by the module. The compute utility routine is invoked at the beginning of an increment from user subroutines UEPACTIVATIONSETUP and UMDFLUXSETUP.

Variables to Be Provided to the Utility Routine

cPtkID

Tag name of an event series defined in PtkSetEventSeriesProperties or name of a scan strategy defined in PtkSetMeshAndScanstrategies.

tStart

Value of step (or total) time at the start of the increment when the event series is defined in terms of step (or total) time.

tEnd

Value of step (or total) time at the end of the increment when the event series is defined in terms of step (or total) time.
