LaminateGlobalLayupPlyGroupCollection Class¶

class NXOpen.CAE.LaminateGlobalLayupPlyGroupCollection¶

Bases: object

Represents a laminate layup in the global layup context (ply based modeling), which is defined by a sequence of NXOpen.CAE.LaminatePlyGroup, each with a name and a list of plies.

To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.CAE.LaminateGlobalLayup

New in version NX6.0.0.
