SimpleInterference Class

class NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference

Bases: NXOpen.Builder

Represents the Simple Interference object.

A NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference object takes two solid bodies as inputs and the type of interference results to be produced. It can report the first pair of interfering faces between two solids or all pairs of interfering faces. It can also create the interference solid(s) between two bodies.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.AnalysisManager.CreateSimpleInterferenceObject()

New in version NX5.0.0.

Property Detail

FaceInterferenceType

SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType

Returns or sets the FaceInterferenceType.

NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType`() is used when NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.InterferenceType`() is set to NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceInterferenceMethod.InterferingFaces, i.e., create pair(s) of interfering faces between two solids. A value of NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceFaceInterferenceMethod.FirstPairOnly for NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType`() reports only the first pair of interfering faces and value of NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceFaceInterferenceMethod.AllPairs reports all pairs of interfering faces between two bodies.

InterferenceType

SimpleInterference.InterferenceType

Returns or sets the InterferenceType.

A value of NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceInterferenceMethod.InterferingFaces for NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.InterferenceType`() reports the pairs of interfering faces between two solids. You can also further specify to report only the first pair of interfering faces or all pairs of interfering faces by NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType`(). A value of NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceInterferenceMethod.InterferenceSolid for NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.InterferenceType`() creates the interference solid(s) between the two input bodies.

Method Detail

GetInterferenceResults

SimpleInterference.GetInterferenceResults

Returns the pair(s) of interfering faces or solid(s) of interference between the input bodies.

nObjects will be 0 if there is no face or solid interference between the input bodies. If the NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.InterferenceType`() is NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceInterferenceMethod.InterferingFaces, pair(s) of interfering faces are returned. The first two objects represent the first pair of interfering faces, and next two objects represent the second pair of interering faces and so on. If the NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType`() is NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceFaceInterferenceMethod.FirstPairOnly, only the first pair of interfering faces are returned.

Signature GetInterferenceResults()

Returns:Results of Simple Interference Return type:list of NXOpen.NXObject

New in version NX6.0.2.

License requirements: None.

HighlightNextPair

SimpleInterference.HighlightNextPair

Highlights the pairs of interfering faces after a NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.PerformCheck().

This method is applicable only when NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.InterferenceType`() is set to NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceInterferenceMethod.InterferingFaces and NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FaceInterferenceType`() is set to NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceFaceInterferenceMethod.AllPairs. When highlighting the next pair, current pair of faces is unhighlighted. Return value is set to true if there are more pairs of faces to be highlighted. If the last pair is reached (i.e., the pair being highlighted in this call is the last pair of faces), return value is set to false.

Signature HighlightNextPair()

Returns:Indicates if there are

any more pairs left . :rtype: bool

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

PerformCheck

SimpleInterference.PerformCheck

Perform Interference Check.

NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.PerformCheck() should be called after specifiying input bodies to be checked, i.e., NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.FirstBody() and NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.SecondBody(). The return value NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceResult specifies the type of interference existing between the input bodies. Use NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.GetInterferenceResults() to obtain the interfering faces or solid(s) of interference between the input bodis.

Signature PerformCheck()

Returns:Indicates

the type of interference existing between the input bodies. :rtype: NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterferenceResult

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Reset

SimpleInterference.Reset

Frees up resources/results associated with NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference object after a call to NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.PerformCheck().

NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.PerformCheck() is followed by NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.GetInterferenceResults() and the NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.SimpleInterference.Reset().

Signature Reset()

License requirements: None.

Validate

SimpleInterference.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
