ManufacturingAssemblyNavigatorBuilder Class

class NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.ManufacturingAssemblyNavigatorBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Builder

This class is used to define Manufacturing Assembly Structure.

This is accomplished by creating manufacturing containers. These containers are part occurences except in 4GD where there are Partitions. Each container owns a set of manufacturing parts and containers which define a manufacturing assembly.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Features.ShipCollection.CreateManufacturingAssemblyNavigatorBuilder()

New in version NX12.0.0.

Validate

ManufacturingAssemblyNavigatorBuilder.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.
