ElementEdgeCheckBuilder Class¶

class
NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilder¶ Bases:
NXOpen.Builder,NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ISelectionBuilderRepresents a
NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilderwhich can be used to detect free element edges or non-manifold edges.A free edge is any Element edge that is not shared by any other element face (on either 2D or 3D elements ) within the defined scope of the check. A non-manifold edge is any Element edge that is shared more than 2 element faces (on either 2D or 3D elements ) within the defined scope of the check.
The computation scope
ElementEdgeCheckBuilder.ComputationScope`()will affect on the checking result. The free element edges or non-manifold edges found will be displayed using the display settingNXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilderEdgeDisplayStyle_Struct. You can execute checking throughBuilder.Commit()orNXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilder.ExecuteCheck(). Commiting the builder performs checking and displays the free edges and non-manifold edges in graphic window.To create a new instance of this class, use
NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheckManager.CreateElementEdgeCheckBuilder()New in version NX8.5.0.

CAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilder.CheckFreeEdges`()is set, and non-manifold edges whenCAE.ModelCheck.ElementEdgeCheckBuilder.CheckNonManifoldEdges`()is set, returns the associated elements and output group for free and/or non-manifold element edges.For the associated elements, if both checks are done at the same time, the elements associated to free edges are returned firstly in the list.
Signature
DoCheck()Returns: a tuple Return type: A tuple consisting of (freeEdges, nonManifoldEdges, assoElems, outputGroup). freeEdges is a list of NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge. free element edges nonManifoldEdges is a list ofNXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge. non-manifold element edges assoElems is a list ofNXOpen.CAE.FEElement. associated elements for free and/or non-manifold element edges, if both checks are done at the same time, the elements associated to free edges are returned firstly in the list. outputGroup is aNXOpen.CAE.CaeGroup. output group for free and/or non-manifold element edgesNew in version NX11.0.0.

Validate¶
-
ElementEdgeCheckBuilder.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.
