In 11.0.0.0 and later, a sheetmetal body part can have any number of sheet metal bodies and any number of solid bodies. A part with at least one sheet metal body is a sheet metal part. You cannot remove the last, single, sheet metal body from a sheet metal part or convert a single sheet metal body to a solid body. You can, however, convert the sheet metal part to a solid part. For more information about Multibodies in Sheetmetal Design, refer to the Creo Online Help.

Methods Introduced:

Use the function ProSmtPartThicknessValueGet() to get the absolute thickness value of the specified sheetmetal part.

Use the function ProSmtBodyThicknessValueGet() to get the absolute thickness value of the specified sheetmetal body.

Use the function ProSmtBodyIsLinkedToPart() to check if the specified sheetmetal body is linked to a part. The output argument is_linked is a ProBoolean. The function returns PRO_B_TRUE, if the sheetmetal body is linked to a part, else it returns PRO_B_FALSE.

Use the function ProSmtBodyLinkToPart() to link or unlink a sheetmetal body to a sheetmetal part. The input argument link is a ProBoolean. Pass it as PRO_B_TRUE, if you want to link a sheetmetal body to a sheetmetal part. Pass PRO_B_FALSE to unlink.
