ProfileSystemBuilder Class

class NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.ProfileSystemBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.FeatureParmsBuilder

This class is used to create or edit the information shared between all the Basic Design profile system features in the Ship Design application.

Currently this includes the following features: NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.StiffenerSystem, NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.PillarSystem, and NXOpen.Features.ShipDesign.EdgeReinforcement.

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

New in version NX8.0.0.
