Hello all,

I have .ansa files and wants to find center of each model.
Could anyone tell me wether ANSA software has the function to find center of model that will return center(I want x,y,z coordinates values of center) of model,if does where can I find the function. If not any suggestion how I do that.

Thank you

you can open each ansa file and get cog from card values. Refer the code for more.

import ansa
from ansa import *

def main():
	selected_files = utils.SelectOpenFileIn('/home/user/', 1) #for selecting multiple files
	for each_file in selected_files:
		ansa.base.Open(each_file) # for opening the file
		ansa_parts = ansa.base.CollectEntities(constants.NASTRAN, None, "ANSAPART", recursive=True, )
		for each_part in ansa_parts:
			cog = ansa.base.GetEntityCardValues(constants.NASTRAN, each_part, ('COG x','COG y','COG z'))
			print(" COG is",[cog['COG x'],cog['COG y'],cog['COG z']])

main()

I am interested in your "How to rotate plane 360 degree" post.
Post if any solution comes up..

base.GeoRotate(input_function_type="MOVE", pid_offset="AUTO_OFFSET", group_offset="SAME PART", input_sets_type="NONE", fx=result[0], fy=result[1], fz=result[2], fx2=result[0]+100, fy2=result[1],fz2=result[2], angle=a, entities=pl1, draw_results=True, keep_connectivity=False)

Here in for loop give angel value in range 1 to 360
