Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen::CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder builder used to align the normals of connected shell elements with a seed shell element.

You can align the normals by executing either Builder::Commit or NXOpen::CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::AlignNormals . The difference between these two methods is Builder::Commit aligns the normals and updates normal display, but it does not return the elements that have changed normals. NXOpen::CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::AlignNormals aligns the normals and returns the elements that have changed normals. Both of the methods are only available in fem context.
To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen::CAE::ModelCheckManager::CreateAlignShellElementNormalBuilder

Created in NX8.5.0.
