FieldLinksTable Class

class NXOpen.Fields.FieldLinksTable

Bases: NXOpen.Fields.Field

Represents the Field LinksTable class.

A field (see NXOpen.Fields.Field) defined in terms of tabular data involving one look-up independent column, an equal number of look-up fields and one or more dependent variables (see NXOpen.Fields.FieldVariable). This is similar to a table (see NXOpen.Fields.FieldTable), except instead of the interpolation dependent values being defined as numerical contants, they are defined by another field.

To obtain a instance of this class use NXOpen.Fields.FieldManager .

New in version NX9.0.0.

Method Detail

EditFieldLinksTable

FieldLinksTable.EditFieldLinksTable

Overloaded method EditFieldLinksTable

  • EditFieldLinksTable(indepVarArray, depVarArray, datapoints, linkFieldsArray)
  • EditFieldLinksTable(indepVarArray, depVarArray, datapoints, linkFieldsArray, managedFieldsArray)

-------------------------------------

Edit the LinksTable field. Specifies the new array of :py:class:`NXOpen.Fields.FieldVariable`s for independent and dependent variables, as well as the new double values and linked fields. The datapoints and linked fields arrays are row based and number of each must equal the num_rows. The data_points array represents the values for the first independent value. For example, if the LinksTable has a domain of txyz, the values in this array are all values of t. The linked fields array must consist of the fields with independent variables representing the remaining variables in the independent domain of the LinksTable. For example, if the LinksTable has a domain of txyz, the independent domain of the fields in this array are all xyz. NULL values are allowed for linked fields and indicate a discontinuity at the associated value of the first independent variable. The dependent quantities are determined from the linked fields. The linked fields must have the same dependent variables as the Linkstable.

Signature EditFieldLinksTable(indepVarArray, depVarArray, datapoints, linkFieldsArray)

Parameters:
  • indepVarArray (list of NXOpen.Fields.FieldVariable) – independent variables to be associated with the field
  • depVarArray (list of NXOpen.Fields.FieldVariable) – dependent variables of this and all linked fields
  • datapoints (list of float) – row based array of double values representing the first independent variable; the number of points should equal the number of rows.
  • linkFieldsArray (list of NXOpen.Fields.Field) – row based array of link field values representing the table; the number of fields should equal the number of rows.

FindObject

FieldLinksTable.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

Signature FindObject(journalIdentifier)

Parameters:journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Print

FieldLinksTable.Print

Prints a representation of this object to the system log file.

Signature Print()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetName

FieldLinksTable.SetName

Sets the custom name of the object.

NOTE: This method should not be used to edit a read-only object such as a Mirrored PMI object. If it is, the changes will be overridden when the part is updated.

Signature SetName(name)

Parameters:name (str) –

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetSecondaryValuesOutsideTableInterpolation

FieldLinksTable.SetSecondaryValuesOutsideTableInterpolation

Set the values outside table interpolation option for sub fields if the sub fields are tables

Signature SetSecondaryValuesOutsideTableInterpolation(interpolationMethod)

Parameters:interpolationMethod (NXOpen.Fields.FieldEvaluatorValuesOutsideTableInterpolationEnum) – the outside table values interpolation method for sub fields
