Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder which can be used to create mutiple elements in one efficient opertation.

The general procedure for creating elements is to:

Define the type of elements to be create through the NXOpen.CAE.ElementTypeBuilder and the properties of NXOpen.CAE.ElementTypeBuilder.ElementTypeName
Optionally define elements labeling requirements through NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.StartLabel and NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.LabelIncrement
Define elements through NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.AddElement
Create Mesh and elements through Builder.Commit or NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.CommitElements . Commiting the builder removes the current element defintions so that it can be reused to create more elements.

The

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.NodeElementManager.CreateMultipleElementCreateBuilder

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.NewMeshType

Option to create new mesh or add to existing mesh

Enumerator
Create	create new mesh
Existing	add to existing mesh

Member Function Documentation

unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.AddElement ( NXOpen.CAE.FENode[] nodes )

inline

Adds new element definition defined by the list of input NXOpen.CAE.FENode objects.

New element will be created only after NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.CommitElements is done. Since element labels weren't specified, the builder will assign them automatically based on the setting of NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.StartLabel and NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.LabelIncrement

Created in NX7.5.2

License requirements: nx_masterfem ("Finite Element Modeling")

Parameters

nodes input list of nodes

unsafe void NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.AddElement	(	NXOpen.CAE.FENode[]	nodes,
		int	label
	)

inline

Adds new element definition defined by the list of input NXOpen.CAE.FENode objects.

New element will be created only after NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.CommitElements is done.

Created in NX7.5.2

License requirements: nx_masterfem ("Finite Element Modeling")

Parameters

nodes	input list of nodes, The number of nodes and the order of the nodes must be consistent with the defined element type.
label	new FEElement label. If the specified label is less than or equal to 0 then the builder will automatically assign a valid label based on the builders labeling rules. If a label is specified it must be unique in this part.

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.FEElement [] NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.CommitElements ( )

inline

Commits the Builder, which creates elements as they were defined and returns the newly create elements.

The method Builder.Commit will also do the same thing except instead of returning elements, it will return the newly created NXOpen.CAE.Mesh which contains the new elements. Builder.GetCommittedObjects can't be used to return elements since they are not of type NXOpen.NXObject . It will however return the newly created NXOpen.CAE.Mesh

Returns: new FEElements positions

Property Documentation

unsafe NXOpen.CAE.ElementTypeBuilder NXOpen.CAE.MultipleElementCreateBuilder.ElementType

get

Returns the element type builder.

Through the NXOpen.CAE.ElementTypeBuilder you can specify both the type of element to create as well as the destination NXOpen.CAE.MeshCollector the new elements will be placed in.
