Member Function Documentation

unsafe void NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.CreatePipe ( )

inline

Create the tube from the given inputs.

The tube must be created before creating any flange surface.

Created in NX12.0.0

License requirements: nx_freeform_2 ("advanced freeform modeling")

unsafe NXOpen.Curve NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.GetCenterCurve ( )

inline

Return the center curve

Created in NX8.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe bool NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.GetIsDirectionFlipped ( )

inline

A value indicating whether to flip the direction.

If the direction is flipped, the pipe is placed to the opposite side of base faces and flange direction is flipped.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe bool NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.GetIsSideFlipped ( )

inline

Returns a value indicating whether to flip the side.

If the side is flipped, the pipe is placed to the other side of base curves for Basic Type and the other side of the pipe of the parent feature for Absolute/Visual Gap Type.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.Curve NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.GetSilhouetteCurve ( )

inline

Return the silhouette curve

Created in NX8.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe void NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.SetIsDirectionFlipped ( bool flipDirection )

inline

Sets a flag indicating if the direction is flipped.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: nx_freeform_2 ("advanced freeform modeling")

Parameters

flipDirection

unsafe void NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.SetIsSideFlipped ( bool flipSide )

inline

Sets a value indicating whether to flip the side.

If the side is flipped, the pipe is placed to the other side of base curves for Basic Type and the other side of the pipe of the parent feature for Absolute/Visual Gap Type.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: nx_freeform_2 ("advanced freeform modeling")

Parameters

flipSide

unsafe void NXOpen.Features.SilhouetteFlangeBuilder.UpdateLawSpine ( )

inline

Update the spine curve in length/angle/radius laws.

All laws use the center line curve of the pipe as the spine curve. This API should be called if the pipe should be reconstructed due to any input change.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: nx_freeform_2 ("advanced freeform modeling")
