AutoCyclicSymmetryPairsBuilder Class

class NXOpen.CAE.AutoCyclicSymmetryPairsBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Builder

Builds a NXOpen.CAE.AutoPairs object which represents a recipe for generating face pairs from a selected set of faces in the model.

Faces are selected as a pair if they are the same face (within an angle and distance tolerance) when rotated about an axis. Pairs are only found on the same body(ies) as the face(s) specified. This builder should only be used for the creation of new Cyclic Symmetry BCs.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.SimSimulation.CreateAutoCyclicSymmetryPairsBuilder()

New in version NX11.0.0.

Validate

AutoCyclicSymmetryPairsBuilder.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
