Member Function Documentation

bool NXOpen::Weld::WeldBeadPathBuilder::CreateEndToStart ( )

Returns the indication if the sweep should be created from the edge location to the start location.

True indicates the sweep will be created from the end to the start location of the path, false indicates the sweep will be from the start to the end location of the path. This option is only used if the path section is closed.
Created in NX7.5.0.

Created in NX7.5.0.

License requirements : None

void NXOpen::Weld::WeldBeadPathBuilder::UpdatePath	(	bool *	pointFound,
		NXOpen::Point3d *	evaluationPoint,
		NXOpen::Vector3d *	pathTangent,
		NXOpen::Vector3d *	faceNormalWithFin,
		NXOpen::Vector3d *	faceNormalOppositeFin

Created in NX7.5.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

pointFound	Point and evaluation results are valid
evaluationPoint	Point that reference vectors are computed at
pathTangent	Tangent to path at evaluationPoint
faceNormalWithFin	Normal if path is in direction of parasolid fin
faceNormalOppositeFin	Normal if path is opposite direction of parasolid fin.

virtual bool NXOpen::Weld::WeldBeadPathBuilder::Validate ( )

virtual

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.

Returns: Was self validation successful
Created in NX3.0.1.
