recognize feature
hello,
i am trying to create a feature in solidworks model.
this feature is already present in the model as a set of faces in imported geometry.
i have information about feature type and parameters, such as hole depth, hole diameter, also i know id of faces.
function featureworksapp->recognizefeatureautomatic() does not use the information about feature parameters.
how can i create this feature in solidworks?
best regards.

hi yuri, can you explain a little more? perhaps show the code you are trying to use?
is your imported model surfaces or is it a solid?
also, do you mean to ask "how can i get featureworks to correctly recognize the imported model?"
have fun!
hi kevin,
i create imported solid in solidworks use function imodeler->createbrepbody().
all features in model present as geometry, also i have all information about feature parameters.
i try to get solidworks model with set of solidworks features.
there are several methods to do it.
1.
import model in solidworks
select face by id and call recognizefeatureautomatic.
but this method don't use information about feature parameters and can recognise more then one feature at the same time.
2.
import model in solidworks
create new feature exactly at the same place as geometry.
use code:
pfeaturemanager->simplehole()
this method doesn't work and i get diagnostic message. "the intended cut does not intersect the model".
3
remove set of faces from model, close open contours.
import model in solidworks
create new feature use feature parameters.
this method will work fine but it is very complex.
quick
