I have a fin model (parameterized). I would like to get its fin area in spaceclaim and be used in expressions. Is this possible? Since each time a new fin is created the surface area will be different, and this new surface area needs to be used in the expression in the Setup.

    Hi Bobin,

    In SpaceClaim an area or volume can be used to drive a parameter. The workflow is a little convoluted in SpaceClaim but we've made this much simpler within Discovery. If you click the parameter button in the top image you can then select a second entity that you'd like to measure. In the bottom image you'll notice I'm going to pull the top face and control the area of the side face. I hope this is helpful.

    I have a model created in SpaceClaim (which can change based on the parametric inputs). So the surface area would change for the object as the dimensions change. I wanted to find the surface area of the object for an equation in Fluent. Is there a way for this to be done?
