Properties

Property Description
Elements Returns the select element operator selects elements
RotationalStiffness Returns the expression rotational stiffness operator gets spring rotational stiffness value
StiffnessState Returns or sets the stiffness state drives the action upon commit
Tag Returns the Tag for this object.
TranslationalStiffness Returns the expression stiffness operator gets spring translational stiffness value

Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
ShowResults Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Method Detail

Validate

SpringEADBuilder.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

Signature Validate()

Returns:Was self validation successful
Return type:bool

New in version NX3.0.1.

License requirements: None.
