UpperLimit Returns or sets the upper limit value

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.
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.
GetVariable Gets the design variable
SetVariable Sets the design variable
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.

Method Detail

GetVariable

DAODesignVariableBuilder.GetVariable

Gets the design variable

Signature GetVariable()

Returns:a tuple
Return type:A tuple consisting of (variableType, variableExpression). variableType is a NXOpen.CAE.Optimization.DAODesignVariableBuilderVariable. Variable type variableExpression is a NXOpen.Expression. Variable expression

New in version NX8.0.1.

License requirements: None.

SetVariable

DAODesignVariableBuilder.SetVariable

Sets the design variable

Signature SetVariable(variableType, variableExpression)

Parameters:

New in version NX8.0.1.

License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

Validate

DAODesignVariableBuilder.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

New in version NX3.0.1.
