Hello,

I have a Solidworks file with about 700 configurations in it of a reasonably complex part (so hand calculations are out of the questions). There is a single body resulting from all the different features and operations in the function tree.

I would like to compute the surface area for all 700 configurations and output this to a .txt file, as in 'Configuration = XX' where the number is the computed surface area.

That script should also spot any transient error in the configuration change (every now and then, I get a rebuild error which disappear when I force a rebuild by opening and closing the equations). 

I will most likely have to let the PC run the macro overnight, since each configuration change takes on average 30s.

Has anyone come across anything similar?

TIA!

S.M.
