Hello, <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a parametric inventor model that is loaded into Spaceclaim and Modified to be 2D geometry as shown below. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Using SCDM scripting in python, how can I find the flats (edges) on the nut geometry that contact the bolt flats (edges) and create named selections for each pair. For example:  <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Named selections for the first thread shown above. <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Named selections for the second set of threads shown above, Etc.<\/p>\n

I can calculate the length of the flats from the pitch on the bolt and nut threads, in this case they’re 0.111″ in length.<\/p>\n
