# AlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder Class

class `NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.``AlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder`

  Bases: `NXOpen.Builder`

  Represents a `NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.AlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder` builder used to align the first edges of connected shell elements with a seed element edge.

  To create a new instance of this class, use `NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheckManager.CreateAlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder()`

# Method Detail

## DisplayFirstEdges

`AlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder.``DisplayFirstEdges`

  Display first edges for connected elements, which are to be aligned with seed edge

  Signature `DisplayFirstEdges()`

## Validate

`AlignShellElementFirstEdgeBuilder.``Validate`

  Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

  If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

  Signature `Validate()`

  Returns: | Was self validation successful
  Return type: | bool
