Macro to identify zero thickness geometry

I was wondering if anyone has a SW macro that can display the locations of
zero thickness geometry conditions.

Thanks in advance.

CG

 

solidworks will not make a feature if it creates 0 thickness. so there
would be no way to look for somthing that is not created.

also if you understand what 0 thickness is then you can tell on the
screen were 0 thickness is happening.

 

Sean,

I beg to differ.

If you create a multi-body part (i.e. - weldment), it is certainly possible
to create zero thickness geometry conditions.

If you use COSMOSWorks, you must combine all of the bodies to run a stress
analysis at the part level. Currently, COSMOSWorks doesn't support analysis
of multi-body parts.

As an alternative, I use the "Save Bodies" command to create a standalone
assembly which can be analyzed with COSMOSWorks. This approach works OK,
but takes more steps, and creates additional files to manage.

If zero thickness geometry conditions were displayed when using the combine
command, it would allow users to more easily modify the model, to eliminate
these problems.

Sorry I didn't clarify the situation more clearly in my earlier post.

Besr regards,

CG
