Assigns the material to all solid bodies

Created in NX7.5.3

License requirements: None.

unsafe NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.AssignWarning NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.AssignToBodiesNotUsingPreferredMaterial ( )

Assigns the material to all solid bodies not using the preferred material.

Invalid bodies are skipped and a warning code will be returned.

Created in NX7.5.3

License requirements: None.

Returns: Returns a warning code if any

unsafe NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.AssignWarning NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.AssignToBodiesWithoutMaterials ( )

Invalid bodies are skipped and a warning code will be returned.

Created in NX7.5.3

License requirements: None.

Returns: Returns a warning code if any

unsafe NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.Copy ( NXOpen.NXObject partObject )

Creates new (copied) material with same properties as the original material.

The name of the new (copied) material will be unique and based on the name of the original material.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

partObject object in part where to copy material to

Returns: the new material copied from this material

unsafe NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.CopyLibMatlToPart ( NXOpen.NXObject partObject )

Copies a library material to a part.

Created in NX6.0.2

Parameters

partObject object in part where to copy material to

Returns: the new material copied from this material

unsafe NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial NXOpen.PhysicalMaterial.CopyLibMatlToPart	(	NXOpen.NXObject	partObject,

Created in NX8.5.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

partObject	object in part where to copy material to
editable	when true, creates a local material ready for user editting. When false, it creates an exact copy of a loaded library material. The difference between loading and copying with this set to false is loading will get the latest library version whereas if the library material passed in is not synchronized with the latest version, the copy will also not be synchronized with the latest version.
