FaceClearanceCheckBuilder Class

class NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.FaceClearanceCheckBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Builder

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.FaceClearanceCheckBuilder to perform polygon face interference or clearance check.

You can do the check by Builder.Commit() or NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.FaceClearanceCheckBuilder.DoCheck(). Builder.Commit() performs the check and displays the failed faces in graphics window. NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.FaceClearanceCheckBuilder.DoCheck() performs the check and if faces are detected violating the check, returns the output group containing the failed faces.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheckManager.CreateFaceClearanceCheckBuilder()

New in version NX8.5.0.

Properties

Property Description
Clearance Returns the clearance.
Tag Returns the Tag for this object.

Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
DoCheck Perform the clearance check.
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
ShowResults Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Property Detail

Clearance

FaceClearanceCheckBuilder.Clearance

Returns the clearance.

If the clearance value is zero, an intersection check between faces will be performed. If the clearance value is non-zero, a clearance check will be performed. If a negative non-zero clearance is set, the absolute value will be used

Method Detail

DoCheck

FaceClearanceCheckBuilder.DoCheck

Perform the clearance check.

All polygon faces on the current display are considered for the check. If polygon faces are detected as intersecting or violating the given clearance, they are placed in a group, which would be returned

Signature DoCheck()

Returns:the group contains the failed faces
Return type:NXOpen.CAE.CaeGroup

Validate

FaceClearanceCheckBuilder.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
