I have a task where I need to measure a diameter on a thin part made of rubber (like a rubber band or O-ring).
But when the part is made of rubber and deformed (not round) will calculation of the diameter not be possible by using the normal circle calculation program in PC-DMIS. But I need a method to calculate the circumference/length of the surface/contour on the diameter.
The diameter will be measured with optical scan at a Mycrona CMM.
What opportunities are there in PC-DMIS CAD + + (version 4.2) to calculating the circumference / length of the contour of a curve.
If they are reasonably flat, you don't need to do all 6 degrees of freedom. A simple surface point would suffice, and just translate in Z. If you really wanted to level, you could do three surface points.
