 Step 1 : Prerequisite

Loading the 3DR Representation corresponding to the studied "Tank".

The tank can consist of a solid or of a set of

surfaces.

But, Warning in the type of the model containing the tank !!!!!!

The model which contains the tank has to be only of type " PRODUCT " and not type “ 3DPART ”.
Otherwise, the application cannot create the new "3DPART” which contains the results of the application.

If the type of model is erroneous, it is possible to change it by knowing that this modification is
irreversible via a command of the contextual menu " to change in product "

 Step 2 : Running the application

Loading the 3DR Representation corresponding to the studied "Tank".

The tank can consist of a solid or of a set of

surfaces.

Active and visible since workshops linked to a 3DR Representation (Part Design, Generative Shape Design...)
Running the business application (appli. métier) :

By clicking, via the bar of menu, " Applis Métier /FuelTank 1.5.5 "

By clicking directly on the Icon of the business Application « Fuel Tank »

If the bar of menus of the application is not visible , make

it active via the menu " Display / Toolbar "

 Step 5 : dead Volumes

Results (2/2)

To visualize better the result, the user can put the fuel tank in transparency and display the dead volumes (and
their bounding boxes) :
Click, via the right button of the mouse on the 3DRepresentation « Fuel tank », then « Properties »
Choose the tab « Graphique » and put the fuel tank in transparency.

In the 3Dreference containing the results of calculation , hide all the entities and display only those that
interest you . .
