DupinBuilder Class — NXOpen Python API Reference 12.0.0 documentation

# DupinBuilder Class

class `NXOpen.GeometricAnalysis.``DupinBuilder`

  Bases: `NXOpen.TaggedObject`, `NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.IComponentBuilder`

  The Dupin Indicatrix is a tool to geometrically display the surface curvature at a specified point on a surface.

  New in version NX8.0.0.

FlatnessTolerance | Returns or sets the tolerance that defines at the specified point if an area is flat.
Scale | Returns or sets the scale factor to apply to the display of the dupin indicatrix.
Tag | Returns the Tag for this object.

# Methods

  Returns or sets the point location defining where the analysis should be done.

  `-------------------------------------`

  Getter Method

  Signature `AnalysisPoint`

  Returns: |
  Return type: | `NXOpen.Point`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: None.

  `-------------------------------------`

  Parameters: | flatnessTolerance (float) –

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: None.

## Scale

`DupinBuilder.``Scale`

  Returns or sets the scale factor to apply to the display of the dupin indicatrix.

  `-------------------------------------`

  License requirements: None.

# Method Detail

## ResetAnalysisPoint

`DupinBuilder.``ResetAnalysisPoint`

  Reset the analysis point to accept dynamic input.

  Signature `ResetAnalysisPoint()`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: None.

## Validate

`DupinBuilder.``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

  New in version NX3.0.1.

  License requirements: None.
