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

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignShellElementNormalBuilder.ConnectedElementScope

the options to define the connection scope to the seed element for model checking

Enumerator
SeedMesh	Limits check to only those shell elements in the mesh that contains the Seed Element
AllVisible	Limits check to only those shell elements which are connected to the Seed Element and are currently visible
UserSpecified	Limits check to only those shell elements specified in NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignShellElementNormalBuilder.UserSpecifiedConnectElements

Member Function Documentation

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FEElement [] NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignShellElementNormalBuilder.AlignNormals ( )

inline

Aligns the normals of elements connected to the seed element.

Returns the elements that have had the normals successfully reversed. This method will only reverse the normals for shell elements in the current work fem part.
