Set different diameters for random fibers

      Dears;


      I have generated random fibers in the Spaceclaim form text file. I faced a problem that how can I set random diameters for these fibers automatically. I only could select all fibers and from the prepare tab, I select the circular crosssection with a single radius.


      In summary, is there any method to set random diameters automatically for edges in Spaceclaim?


      Thank you in advance for your help,

      Not sure about random, but when you generate the shapes you can use a script to give a diameter. Nothing stopping you adding a random number at that stage.

      Hi Rwoolhou, I try to do that with script but when I choose the cross section radius of the beam nothing appear in script window.


       


      if you know how to get that please help me..

      If it's a beam then is may not have a physical size. Beams are used in Mechanical to avoid needing to model the object thickness as they're modelled using an empirical approach for certain shapes/designs.
