Detailed Description

This class will provide the solution to unwrap 3D non-planar, curved geometry to a 2D plane.

The transformation mapping of unwrapping non-planar faces to a plane can be used bi-directional. Unwrapping geometry and wrapping geometry from a plane to the 3D shape.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Features.FreeformSurfaceCollection.CreateFlatteningAndFormingBuilder

enum NXOpen.Features.FlatteningAndFormingBuilder.DistortionMap

Distortion Map options.

The options provides ability to display a distortion map on the source faces.

Enumerator
None	No distortion map
Length	Distortion of length
Area	Distortion of area
Angle	Shear distortion of U/V directions

enum NXOpen.Features.FlatteningAndFormingBuilder.Types

Flattening Types

Enumerator

Calculation

This option faces to be flattened will be used to calculate the mapping.

The mapping can also be applied to additional transformation objects.

Reuse

This option uses a transformation maping of an existing flattening feature to reapply it in its original or reversed direction to additional transformation objects.
