Method Detail

AppendGeometrySet

Geometry.AppendGeometrySet

Append an geometry set with dumb rules

Signature AppendGeometrySet(templateSet, entities)

Parameters:

• templateSet (NXOpen.CAM.GeometrySet) – the template set for copying custom data
• entities (list of NXOpen.DisplayableObject) – array of the geometry entities for appending. The entities must be from same component part

Returns:

the appended geometry set object

Return type:

NXOpen.CAM.GeometrySet

New in version NX8.0.0.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

AppendNamedGeometry

Geometry.AppendNamedGeometry

Append named geometry

Signature AppendNamedGeometry(namedGeometry)

Parameters:namedGeometry (list of NXOpen.ScCollector) – array of shared geometry

New in version NX9.0.3.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

CreateGeometrySet

Geometry.CreateGeometrySet

Create an empty geometry set

Signature CreateGeometrySet()

Returns:the geometry set object Return type:NXOpen.CAM.GeometrySet

New in version NX8.0.0.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

ExpandSets

Geometry.ExpandSets

Expanding the geometry sets

Signature ExpandSets(sets)

Parameters:sets (list of NXOpen.CAM.GeometrySet) – array of sets

New in version NX8.0.0.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

InitializeData

Geometry.InitializeData

Prepare and update geometry data

Signature InitializeData(reloadGeometry)

Parameters:reloadGeometry (bool) – the flag to reload the geometry list if it has been changed somewhere.

New in version NX8.0.0.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

PreselectGeometry

Geometry.PreselectGeometry

Pre-select the wall geometry

Signature PreselectGeometry()

New in version NX8.0.0.

License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

Validate

Geometry.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
