The FREESPACE Tool
FORUM - MARCH 2012
What is the freespace tool:Introduction
- allows to calculate the free volume of an assembly
Taking count of the elements inside!
Process:Introduction
- You need a closed volume!
Freespace
Closing the volume:Introduction
Closed volume
New part in the assembly no need to modify the model
Launch Calculation:Introduction
Generate a CGR of the free space of the assembly
- So that we just have to measure the volume of this freespace
Note that you can save the CGR in in SmarTeam but it won’t be associative
Accuracy:Introduction
- The volume calculated is approximate but you can control the accuracy
- The volume calculated is always smaller than the real one
- Test realised on a tube 30m diameter/40m long:Calculated volume = 99.3% of real volume, calculated in 1min 30s
- An FAQ is available now, explaining the whole process

NEW EXCEL BOM EXTRACTION
FORUM - MARCH 2012
Current BOM: Objectives
- get an EBOM, with smarteam hierarchy
- get a flat list, with global quantities
- Make more attributes available
- Offer possibility to chose attributes
How does it works ?: Excel Bom Extraction
Smarteam Information
What does it looks like ?: Example
Remarks: Excel Bom extraction
Excel and Smarteam are unavailable during the process
Speed:
- 16 seconds for 50 items- 20 minutes for 2500 items
Information:
- Everything is coming from smarteam
