Methods

Method	Description
GetCaeCloneManager	Create or get a Clone Manager that can execute a CAE Clone process for a Simulation File or a FeModel File.
NewPartFromPartBuilder	Create an instance of a part builder that creates a new part from an existing part.
NewPartFromTemplateBuilder	Create an instance of a part builder that creates a new part from a template part.
NewPendingComponentsManager	Creates a pending component manager for a given part.

Method Detail

GetCaeCloneManager

PartManager.GetCaeCloneManager

Create or get a Clone Manager that can execute a CAE Clone process for a Simulation File or a FeModel File.

Creates a Clone Manager for a Simulation tag or a FeModel tag, if it does not already exist. Creates part from part builder NXOpen.PDM.PartFromPartBuilder objects for cloning a Simulation File or a FeModel File. If called for a FeModel tag, the function will create Part Builders for FeModel Part , associated Idealized Part and CAD master part. If called for a Simulation tag, the function will create Part Builders for Simulation Part, associated FeModel Part, Idealized Part and CAD master part.

Signature GetCaeCloneManager(part)

Parameters:part (NXOpen.BasePart) – the part Returns:the clone manager Return type:NXOpen.PDM.CaeCloneManager

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

NewPartFromPartBuilder

PartManager.NewPartFromPartBuilder

Create an instance of a part builder that creates a new part from an existing part.

This is analagous to a File SaveAs operation in NX Manager mode.

This method will throw an error if the session is not running in NX Manager mode.

NXOpen.PDM.PartFromTemplateBuilder is a singleton meaning only one instance of it can exist at one time. Calling this method will destroy the builder if one already exists and return a new instance.

Deprecated in NX10 for “Save As of master parts” operation. This should only be used in case of Save As Non Master parts and Save As New Item Type Operations. For Save As of master parts, use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCopyBuilder instead.

Signature NewPartFromPartBuilder()

Returns:the part builder Return type:NXOpen.PDM.PartFromPartBuilder

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

NewPartFromTemplateBuilder

PartManager.NewPartFromTemplateBuilder

Create an instance of a part builder that creates a new part from a template part.

This is analagous to a File New operation in NX Manager mode.

This method will throw an error if the session is not running in NX Manager mode.

NXOpen.PDM.PartFromTemplateBuilder is a singleton meaning only one instance of it can exist at one time. Calling this method will destroy the builder if one already exists and return a new instance.

Signature NewPartFromTemplateBuilder()

Returns:the part builder Return type:NXOpen.PDM.PartFromTemplateBuilder

New in version NX4.0.0.

Deprecated since version NX10.0.0: Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCreateBuilder instead.

License requirements: None.

NewPendingComponentsManager

PartManager.NewPendingComponentsManager

Creates a pending component manager for a given part.

Pending components are ones that have been added from Teamcenter, but are not yet present in NX.

Signature NewPendingComponentsManager(part)

Parameters:part (NXOpen.BasePart) – the part Returns: Return type:NXOpen.PDM.PendingComponentsManager

New in version NX4.0.0.
