Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod .

The edge path selection builder is used by other builders to define a start point (NXOpen.CAE.FENode ) and a path defined by connected CAE edges (NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge ). The path is defined by adding seed edges which are each defined by a start point (NXOpen.CAE.FENode ) and a an edge (NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge ). The path object uses these seeds as input to an algorithm which will determine the complete, coninuous, path. If the resultant path is not the one desired, this indicates that too few seeds were specified. The path class does not allow a curve to be used more than once in a path. Calling NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.FlipPath will flip the direction of the path definition, such that subsequent calls to NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetSeedEdges or NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetPathEdges will return seed or path edges in the new, flipped, order along with correspondingly updated start vertices.

To obtain an instance of this class use CAE::SmartSelectionManager

Member Function Documentation

unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.AddSeedEdge ( NXOpen.CAE.FENode  seedStartNode,
NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge  seedElemEdge 
)

Add seed (start vertex and edge) to the end of the path.

The vertex defines the start point along the edge. If the addition of the seed would result in an invalid path, the seed will not be added and the function will return an error.

Created in NX9.0.0

Deprecated in NX10.0.0. Use overloaded NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.AddSeedEdge with additional arguments instead.

License requirements: None.

Parameters
seedStartNodeseed node
seedElemEdgeseed element edge
unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.AddSeedEdge ( NXOpen.CAE.FENode  seedStartNode,
NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge  seedElemEdge,
bool  preferFreeEdges,
bool  preferGeometryAssociatedEdges,
bool  preferFeatureElementEdge,
double  featureAngleTolerance,
bool  allowGapJumping,
double  gapJumpingTolerance 
)

Add seed (start vertex and edge) to the end of the path.

The vertex defines the start point along the edge. If the addition of the seed would result in an invalid path, the seed will not be added and the function will return an error.

Created in NX10.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters
seedStartNodeseed node
seedElemEdgeseed element edge
preferFreeEdgesif true, prefer free element edges
preferGeometryAssociatedEdgesif true, prefer geometry associated element edges
preferFeatureElementEdgeif true, prefer feature element edges
featureAngleToleranceif preferFeatureElementEdge is true, this is the feature angle tolerance to use
allowGapJumpingif true, gaps between element edges will be jumped
gapJumpingTolerance
unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.FlipPath ( )

Flip the path start and end.

This changes the definition of the path such that subsequent calls to NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetSeedEdges or NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetPathEdges will return seed or path edges in the new, flipped, order along with correspondingly updated start vertices.

License requirements: None.

unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetPathEdges ( out NXOpen.CAE.FENode[]  pathStartNodes,
out NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge[]  pathElemEdges 
)

Returns the resultant start vertics and edges of the path.

These define a path which is continuous from start to end.

Created in NX9.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters
pathStartNodesresultant start vertices
pathElemEdgesresultant element edges
unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetSeedEdges ( out NXOpen.CAE.FENode[]  seedStartNodes,
out NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge[]  seedElemEdges 
)

Returns the seed start vertices and edges which define the path.

The path object uses these seeds as input to an algorithm which will determine the complete, coninuous, path.

Created in NX9.0.0

Deprecated in NX10.0.0. Use NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetSeeds instead.

License requirements: None.

Parameters
seedStartNodesseed start vertices
seedElemEdgesseed element edges
unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.GetSeeds ( out NXOpen.CAE.FENode[]  seedStartNodes,
out NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge[]  seedElemEdges,
out bool[]  preferFreeEdges,
out bool[]  preferGeometryAssociatedEdges,
out bool[]  preferFeatureElementEdge,
out double[]  featureAngleTolerance,
out bool[]  allowGapJumping,
out double[]  gapJumpingTolerance 
)

Returns the seed start vertices and edges which define the path.

The path object uses these seeds as input to an algorithm which will determine the complete, coninuous, path. Each seed also specifies the options used by the path algorithm for that segment of the path.

License requirements: None.

Parameters
seedStartNodesseed start vertices
seedElemEdgesseed element edges
preferFreeEdgesif true, prefer free element edges
preferGeometryAssociatedEdgesif true, prefer geometry associated element edges
preferFeatureElementEdgeif true, prefer feature element edges
featureAngleToleranceif preferFeatureElementEdge is true, this is the feature angle tolerance to use
allowGapJumpingif true, gaps between element edges will be jumped
gapJumpingToleranceif allowGapJumping is true, this is the tolerance to use for jumping gaps between element edges
unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.ElemEdgePathMethod.RemoveSeedEdge ( NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge  seedElemEdge)

Remove seed (start vertex and edge) from the path.

If the removal of the seed would result in an invalid path, the seed will not be added and the function will return an error.

Created in NX9.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters
seedElemEdgeseed element edge
