[SOLVED] Retrieving volume of bodies in CATIAVBA

Retrieving volume of bodies in CATIAVBA

I am developing a macro in CATIAVBA to automatically detect standard components, we are looping through the bodies since they have been imported from a previous version of CATIA, and we have found that standard components follow a rule related to the volume but we are not able to find a way to retrieve the volume from the body directly. Is there a way to do this?

We tried exploring the properties available in bodies and solids but were unable to find anything so far. Any help will be appreciated.

NOTE: We found out it is possible to retrieve it from the product, but this is no use to us in our specific application.

Solution

Sub CATMain()

    For Each doc In CATIA.Documents
        If TypeOf doc Is PartDocument Then

            Set part = doc.part
            Set body = part.MainBody
            
            Dim spaWorkbench As Workbench
            Set spaWorkbench = doc.GetWorkbench("SPAWorkbench")

            Dim reference As reference
            Set reference = part.CreateReferenceFromObject(body)
                
            Dim measure As Measurable
            Set measure = spaWorkbench.GetMeasurable(reference)
            
            MsgBox measure.Volume
        End If
    Next

End Sub
