Attributes


Name	Type	Comment
`Area`	Real	Surface area of the panel measured on the neutral surface. Any detail objects (openings, scallops, chamfers, etc.) on the panel are not taken into account for the area computation.
`Category`	String	Category of the panel.
`CoG_x`	LENGTH	Center of gravity on X coordinate.
`CoG_y`	LENGTH	Center of gravity on Y coordinate.
`CoG_z`	LENGTH	Center of gravity on Z coordinate.
`IsPhysicalObject`	Boolean	Defines whether logical or physical object.
`Length`	LENGTH	Length of the object.
`Offset`	LENGTH	Material orientation offset from delimited molded surface.
`PaintedArea`	Real	Both sides of the surface of a object, excluding the openings.
`Perimeter`	LENGTH	Perimeter is calculated without considering the opening on the object.
`SupportOffset`	LENGTH	Offset from support.
`Thickness`	LENGTH	Thickness of the object.
`Weight`	Real	Weight of the object.
`WeldingLength`	LENGTH	Welding length.
`Width`	LENGTH	Width of the object.
`ThrowOrientation`	Integer	Thickness orientation of the object.
`OffsetMode`	Integer	Offset mode of the object.

Note: The length and width attributes of a panel, plate, or split plate are calculated as follows:

Default behavior: A bounding box is created to include the whole object. The bounding box is positioned according to the geometry of the object, irrespective of the global axis system.
Alternative behavior (Set the following environment variable: StrAbsoulteAxisDimensions=1.): A bounding box is created to include the whole object. The bounding box is positioned according to the global axis system. That is, its faces are always perpendicular to the x, y, and z axes, irrespective of the object's orientation.

The length of the longest side of the bounding box is considered as the length of the object and the length of the second longest side is considered as the width of the object.

Recommendation: In case of a batch session, it is recommended to use the alternative behavior.

let mySddPanel(SddPanel)
mySddPanel = …// Feature to be managed as a SddPanel

// Display SddPanel Category if valid
if ( mySddPanel <> NULL)
