Copies a point group and scales the copy based on a temperature change, scaling origin, and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).
Input Arguments
0 |
Collection Object Name |
Original Group |
The group to compensate. |
1 |
Frame Name |
Scaling Origin (coordinate frame) |
A coordinate frame defining the origin about which the scale should be applied. |
2 |
Double |
Material CTE (1/Deg F) |
The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to use when calculating the scaling factor. |
3 |
Double |
Initial Temperature (F) |
The starting temperature to use (temperature to scale from). |
4 |
Double |
Final Temperature (F) |
The final temperature to use (temperature to scale to). |
5 |
Collection Object Name |
Scaled Group Name |
The name for the compensated point group. |
Return Arguments
None.
Returned Status
SUCCESS |
The compensation was performed successfully. |
FAILURE |
The original point group could not be found. |
Remarks
