Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignBeamElementDirectionBuilder builder used to align the Directions of connected beam elements with a seed beam element.

You can align the directions by executing either Builder.Commit or NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignBeamElementDirectionBuilder.AlignDirections . The difference between these two methods is Builder.Commit aligns the directions and updates direction display, but it does not return the elements that have changed directions. NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignBeamElementDirectionBuilder.AlignDirections aligns the directions and returns the elements that have changed directions. Both of the methods are only available in fem context.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheckManager.CreateAlignBeamElementDirectionBuilder
