Detailed Description

Represents a Finite Element.

Created in NX5.0.0

Member Function Documentation

unsafe NXOpen.INXObject NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.FindObject ( string journalIdentifier )

inline

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

journalIdentifier Journal identifier of the object

Returns

Implements NXOpen.INXObject.

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FENode [] NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetCornerNodesOnEdge ( int edgeIndex )

inline

Returns the corner nodes for this element edge.

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

edgeIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FENode [] NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetCornerNodesOnFace ( int faceIndex )

inline

Returns the corner nodes for this element face

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

faceIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetElemEdge ( int edgeIndex )

inline

Returns an element edge NXOpen.CAE.FEElemEdge given the element and edge id

Created in NX11.0.0

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

Parameters

edgeIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FEElemFace NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetElemFace ( int faceIndex )

inline

Returns an element face NXOpen.CAE.FEElemFace given the element and face id

Created in NX11.0.0

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

Parameters

faceIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.Vector3d NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetFaceNormal ( int faceIndex )

inline

Returns the normal vector for an element face

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

faceIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FENode NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetMidNodeOnEdge ( int edgeIndex )

inline

Returns the mid node for this element edge, if the element order CAE.FEElement.Order is CAE.ElementTypes.Order.Mixed or an order that does not support mid nodes, then the node returned may be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

edgeIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FENode [] NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetMidNodesOnFace ( int faceIndex )

inline

Returns the mid nodes for this element face, if the element order CAE.FEElement.Order is CAE.ElementTypes.Order.Mixed , then some of the nodes returned may be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

If the Element Order does not support mid nodes nothing will be returned.

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

faceIndex

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FENode [] NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetNodes ( )

inline

Returns the nodes for this element, if the element order CAE.FEElement.Order is mixed order, some of the mid nodes returned may be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

When mid nodes are returned they will come after the corner nodes

Created in NX7.5.2

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe int NXOpen.CAE.FEElement.GetNumberOfCornerNodesOnEdge ( int edgeIndex )

inline

Returns the number of corner nodes on element edge

Created in NX11.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters
