Is there a way to get the surface area of the face?

@kabochow,

Well it’s possible to get the raw mesh data of a given node. With this retrieved mesh data, you can try to further distill it down to a face/edge/point. At which point, you can do your own manual calculation to approximate the surface area.

An example called “Geometry Retrieval” for getting the mesh data is included with the Communicator package. Below are the steps:

  1. Launch the server in the quickstart module by double-clicking HOOPS_Communicator_2024.4.0\quick_start\start_server.bat
  2. Once the server.exe launches, click the following URL to view the example:
    http://localhost:11180/geometry_retrieval.html?viewer=csr

To get back to main menu while the server is still running, navigate to:
http://localhost:11180/index.html
