MatingConverter Class

class NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter

Bases: NXOpen.TaggedObject

An instance of this class can be used to convert Mating Conditions to Assembly Constraints in its owning assembly or in child parts of its owning assembly.

The owning assembly is the NXOpen.Assemblies.ComponentAssembly from which this object was obtained using NXOpen.Assemblies.ComponentAssembly.CreateMatingConverter().

Not directly created by user.

New in version NX5.0.0.

Properties

Property	Description

LoadStatus	Returns the load status resulting from a conversion operation.
NumberOfConvertedParts	Returns the number of parts parts converted by this conversion operation.
Tag	Returns the Tag for this object.

Methods

Method	Description
ConvertMatingConditions	Converts Mating Conditions to Assembly Constraints according to the properties defined on this NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter object.
DeleteResults	Removes details from the mating conversion results of the individual constraints that were converted.
Destroy	Deletes this NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter immediately.
GetConvertedConstraints	Returns all constraints converted by this conversion operation.
GetConvertedParts	Returns all parts converted by this conversion operation.
GetLatestResults	Returns textual descriptions of the results of the last conversion operation
GetResults	Returns textual descriptions of the results of all prior conversion operations for all the parts described by the current context set using NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter.Context().

Enumerations

MatingConverterPartContext Enumeration

Defines in which parts mating conditions will be converted.

Property Detail

Context

MatingConverter.Context

Returns or sets the current conversion context in which mating conditions will be converted.

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

Getter Method

Signature Context

Returns:The current context Return type:NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverterPartContext

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

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

Setter Method

Signature Context

Parameters:context (NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverterPartContext) – The new context

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

LoadReferencedGeometry

MatingConverter.LoadReferencedGeometry

Returns or sets whether to load unloaded referenced geometry before performing a conversion.

When all referenced geometry is loaded the conversion operation is more effective. If it isn’t loaded, then the conversion operation will often need to be completed next time the assembly and geometry are loaded together.

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

Getter Method

Signature LoadReferencedGeometry

Returns:Whether referenced-geometry will be loaded Return type:bool

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

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

Setter Method

Signature LoadReferencedGeometry

Parameters:loadGeometry (bool) – Whether to load referenced-geometry

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

LoadStatus

MatingConverter.LoadStatus

Returns the load status resulting from a conversion operation.

This indicates any problems which arose when loading parts during conversion.

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

Getter Method

Signature LoadStatus

Returns:Parts that could not be loaded

and their associated errors. :rtype: NXOpen.PartLoadStatus

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

NumberOfConvertedParts

MatingConverter.NumberOfConvertedParts

Returns the number of parts parts converted by this conversion operation.

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

Getter Method

Signature NumberOfConvertedParts

Returns:The number of converted parts Return type:int

New in version NX5.0.0.

Method Detail

ConvertMatingConditions

MatingConverter.ConvertMatingConditions

Converts Mating Conditions to Assembly Constraints according to the properties defined on this NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter object.

Signature ConvertMatingConditions()

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

DeleteResults

MatingConverter.DeleteResults

Removes details from the mating conversion results of the individual constraints that were converted.

This will be applied to the mating conversion results in the parts described by the current context (determined by NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter.Context()). Note that the summary information for each part in the conversion results is not modified by this function.

Signature DeleteResults()

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

Destroy

MatingConverter.Destroy

Deletes this NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter immediately.

Signature Destroy()

New in version NX6.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

GetConvertedConstraints

MatingConverter.GetConvertedConstraints

Returns all constraints converted by this conversion operation.

Use NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint.GenerateConversionReport() to obtain the conversion status of these constraints.

Signature GetConvertedConstraints()

Returns:The converted constraints Return type:list of NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

GetConvertedParts

MatingConverter.GetConvertedParts

Returns all parts converted by this conversion operation.

Signature GetConvertedParts()

Returns:The converted constraints Return type:list of NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

GetLatestResults

MatingConverter.GetLatestResults

Returns textual descriptions of the results of the last conversion operation

Signature GetLatestResults(showAllResults)

Parameters:showAllResults (bool) – Whether to show results for all converted constraints even if no issues arose during their conversion Returns:The generated results Return type:list of str

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: assemblies (“ASSEMBLIES MODULE”)

GetResults

MatingConverter.GetResults

Returns textual descriptions of the results of all prior conversion operations for all the parts described by the current context set using NXOpen.Positioning.MatingConverter.Context().

Signature GetResults(showAllResults)

Parameters:showAllResults (bool) – Whether to show results for all converted constraints even if no issues arose during their conversion Returns:The generated results Return type:list of str
