Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.CAEConnectionBuilder which can be used to create 1D connections.

The commit call on the builder returns connection recipe.

There are following two connections which don't create connection recipe and the builder returns NULL pointer in these cases:

Node to Node
Element Edge to Element Face

Any call to methods like Builder.GetCommittedObjects or Builder.GetObject returns NULL for the above mentioned two connection types.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.CAEConnectionCollection.CreateConnectionBuilder

Created in NX6.0.0
