Bases: NXOpen.Builder

Represents a Motion.SubmechanismPositioner builder

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Motion.SubmechanismPositionerCollection.CreatePositionerBuilder()

New in version NX12.0.0.

Properties

Property Description
ChildCsys Returns the child coordinate system.
Name Returns or sets the unique name assigned to the submechanism positioner
ParentCsys Returns the parent coordinate system.
Submechanism Returns the submechanism to position.
Tag Returns the Tag for this object.

Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
ShowResults Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Property Detail

ChildCsys

SubmechanismPositionerBuilder.ChildCsys

Returns the child coordinate system.

A coordinate system defined in the submechanism to position. During positioning, the submechanism containing the child coordinate system will move to overlap it with the parent coordinate system.

Getter Method

Signature ChildCsys

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.SelectCoordinateSystem

ParentCsys

SubmechanismPositionerBuilder.ParentCsys

Returns the parent coordinate system.

A coordinate system defined in the motion assembly or in another submechanism different from the submechanism to position. The parent coordinate system will not move during the positioning.

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

Getter Method

Signature ParentCsys

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.SelectCoordinateSystem

New in version NX12.0.0.

License requirements: mechanisms (“MECHANISMS”)

Submechanism

SubmechanismPositionerBuilder.Submechanism

Returns the submechanism to position.

The Submechanism positioner will create an associative positioning to for the submechanism. The associatvie positioning will move the sumbemchanism so that the child CSYS overlaps with the parent CSYS.

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

Getter Method

Signature Submechanism

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.Assemblies.SelectComponent

New in version NX12.0.0.

Method Detail

Validate

SubmechanismPositionerBuilder.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
