# Method Detail

## CreateBuilder

`MeshControlCollection.``CreateBuilder`

  Creates a mesh control builder for the mesh control object

  Signature `CreateBuilder(meshControl)`

  Parameters: | meshControl (`NXOpen.CAE.MeshControl`) – `NXOpen.CAE.MeshControl` to be edited, if None then create a new one
  Returns: | MeshControl Builder
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAE.MeshControlBuilder`

  New in version NX5.0.0.

## CreateMmcCreateBuilder

`MeshControlCollection.``CreateMmcCreateBuilder`

  Creates a builder for the MMC Create command.

  Signature `CreateMmcCreateBuilder(mmcCreate)`

  Parameters: | mmcCreate (`NXOpen.CAE.MeshMate`) – `NXOpen.CAE.MeshMate` to be edited, if None then create a new one
  Returns: | MMCCreateBuilder
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAE.MMCCreateBuilder`

  New in version NX6.0.0.

## FindObject

`MeshControlCollection.``FindObject`

  Finds the `NXOpen.CAE.Mesh` with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

  An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

  An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

  Signature `FindObject(journalIdentifier)`

  Parameters: | journalIdentifier (str) – MeshControl name
  Returns: | mesh control with this identifier
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAE.MeshControl`

  New in version NX3.0.0.
