Example 1 Perform a system calculation

1methodID = "001_SYSTEM_CALCULATION";
2var compID = 1;
3setAttr("gta_switch_iso_6336_2006", compID, true, EDAT);
4var status = runCalcMethod(methodID, compID);
5if (status == 1) {
6    println("Calculation was successful");
    } else {
7  println("Something went wrong");
    }

Example 2 Perform a bearing life calculation for a single bearing.

methodID = "800_ROLLING_BEARING_LIFETIME";
var compID = 15;
runCalcMethod(methodID, compID);

Example 1 Output the value of the normal pressure angle attribute to the console.

1let compID = getCompByType('cylindrical_mesh')[0];
2let value = getAttr("normal pressure angle", compID, EDAT);
3println(value);

Example 2 Output the values of the static load rating array attribute to the console.

1let compID = getCompByType('bearing')[0];
2let value = getAttr("static capacity", compID, RDAT);
3println(value[0]);
4println(value[1]);

Example 1 Set the value of the oil temperature attribute to 90.

1var compID = 1;
2setAttr('temperature', compID, 90, EDAT);

Example 2 Set the attribute FVA_54 to true. The attribute FVA_54 corresponds to the "Calculation of micro pitting acc. to FVA 54" switch in the input editor.

1var compID = getCompByType('cylindrical_mesh')[0];
2setAttr('FVA_54', compID, true, EDAT);

Example 1 Delete the lubricant attribute of the gear unit.

1delAttr('lubricant', 1);

Example Query the properties of the "face width" attribute on a cylindrical gear with ID 8.

1var compID = 8;
2var attributeID = 'face width';
3println('Name: ' + getAttrProperty(attributeID, compID, 'NAME'));
4println('Unit: ' + getAttrProperty(attributeID, compID, 'UNIT_NAME'));
5println('Symbol: ' + getAttrProperty(attributeID, compID, 'SYMBOL'));
6println('Value: ' + getAttrProperty(attributeID, compID, 'RDAT_VALUE'));

In some circumstances, the status of an attribute may be "locked." These attributes cannot be changed via script. For example, this is the case if specification of the attribute value would lead to overdetermination of the model.

Example 

If the option for "Specification of addendum modification acc. to DIN 3992" is selected from the distribution of the addendum modification pull-down menu for the cylindrical gear component in the Editor, the attributes for manually specifying the nominal addendum modification coefficient are locked and hidden.

The script checks whether the "addendum modification coefficient" attribute can be written. If so, the new value is set. If not, a message stating "nominal addendum modification coefficient cannot be written, check the distribution of the addendum modification" is shown.

let gearID = 8;
let addendum_modification = 0.3;
if(isAttrLocked("addendum modification coefficient", gearID) == false){
    setAttr("addendum modification coefficient", gearID, addendum_modification, EDAT);
}else{
    println("Addendum modification factor cannot be set, please check the addendum modification allocation.");
}

Example 1 Delete all RDAT values.

delRDAT();

Example 1 Set the input type for all rolling bearings in the model to "rigidity."

1let bearings = getCompByType("bearing");

2for (i=0; i < bearings.length; i++){
3	setAttr("bearing data type", bearings[i], 2, EDAT);
    }

Example 1 Output a component name and type to the scripting console.

1var compID = 3;
2println(getCompProperty(compID,'TYPE'));
3println(getCompProperty(compID,'NAME'));

Example Change the name of a component.

var compID = 3;
setCompProperty(compID, "NAME", "New component name");

Example 1 Query a cylindrical stage

1var stageID = 3;
2var gearIDs = getSubComponents(stageID, "general_gear");
3println(gearIDs[0]);
4println(gearIDs[1]);

Example 1

1var text = "This is text";
2var array = [1, 2.2, 3, 4];
3println(text);
    for (i=0; i<array.length; i++){
4     println(array[i]);
    }

Example 1 Output text as a message.

var text = "This is a message. Click OK to continue."
alert(text);

Example 2 Output multiple messages in a loop.

1for (i = 0; i < 5; i++){
2    alert("This is the " + i + ". run"); 
     }

Example 1 Request torque from the user and set the attribute value of the load component accordingly.

1var forceID = 20;
2var torque = prompt("Please enter input torque");
3setAttr("scaled torque", forceID, torque, EDAT);

Example 1 Clear the monitor

clearMonitor();

Example 1 Generate an HTML report

1var templateFile = "C:\\template.wbrep";
2var outputFile = "C:\\temp\\output\\report.html";
3var options = {compactView: false, 
                   language: "de", 
                   completeTree: false, 
                   notifications: true, 
                   navigationBar: true};
4generateReport(templateFile, outputFile, options);

Example 1 Load a model from the specified directory.

loadModel("c:\\modell.wbpz");

Example 1 Save the model file

saveModel();

Example 1 Export the file model.wbpz to the C:\temp directory.

exportModel("C:\\temp\\model.wbpz");

Example 2 Export the model in REXS format (version 1.2)

1var options = {IncludeEmptyAttributes: "true" ,DataClass: "RDAT", Version: 1.2};
2exportModel("C:\\temp\\model.rexs", options);

Example 1 Read a text file and output it to the scripting console

1var path = "c:\\textfile.txt";
2var text = readFile(path);

3for (i = 0; i < text.length; i++){
4    println(text[i]);
5    println(parseFloat(text[i])+ parseFloat(text[i]));
     }

Example Create a text file and add additional text.

1var path = "C:\\temp\\test.txt";
2writeToFile(path, "Part 1\n", "c", "UTF-8");
3writeToFile(path, "Part 2\n", "a", "UTF-8");
4writeToFile(path, "Part 3",   "c", "UTF-8");
