Method Detail

GetCornerPoints

BoundedGridBuilder.GetCornerPoints

Gets corner points of the grid

Signature GetCornerPoints()

Returns:a tuple
Return type:A tuple consisting of (validCornerPoints, point1, point2, point3, point4). validCornerPoints is a bool. Flag indicating whether the corner points are valid point1 is a NXOpen.Point3d. First corner point point2 is a NXOpen.Point3d. Second corner point point3 is a NXOpen.Point3d. Third corner point point4 is a NXOpen.Point3d. Fourth corner point

New in version NX6.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SaveCurves

BoundedGridBuilder.SaveCurves

Creates curves by intersecting the bounded grid with all bodies in the part of the grid object.

The bodies that are visible in the work view are intersected. The curves are added to the group created with the specified name. The group is displayed in the part navigator. The curves are created in the work part. These curves are not associated with the grid. These are just snapshot curves that can be used for modeling purposes. If the customer default “Load Solids/Sheets when Saving Section Curves” is enabled, the Save Copy of Section Curves command in the datum plane grid dialog will cause solid/sheet bodies to be loaded into memory for any visible lightweight bodies on the section plane. This may increase the time and memory used by the operation, but will ensure fully accurate section curves.

Signature SaveCurves(groupName)

Parameters:groupName (str) – Name of the group containing curves. If None, a default name will be used.

New in version NX6.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetCornerPoints

BoundedGridBuilder.SetCornerPoints

Sets corner points of the grid

Signature SetCornerPoints(point1, point2, point3, point4)

Parameters:
Returns:

Flag indicating whether the

corner points are valid :rtype: bool

New in version NX6.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Validate

BoundedGridBuilder.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
