  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetFilePath

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetFilePath`

  Sets the file path

  Signature `SetFilePath(filepath)`

  Parameters: | filepath (str) – Name of the file associated to the Fem Data Set.

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetLengthUnit

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetLengthUnit`

  Sets the length unit

  Signature `SetLengthUnit(lengthUnit)`

  Parameters: | lengthUnit (`NXOpen.Unit`) – Length unit used to read the data file.

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetMassUnit

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetMassUnit`

  Sets the mass unit

  Signature `SetMassUnit(massUnit)`

  Parameters: | massUnit (`NXOpen.Unit`) – Mass unit used to read the data file.

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetMeshCreationMode

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetMeshCreationMode`

  Sets the mesh creation mode

  Signature `SetMeshCreationMode(creationMode)`

  Parameters: | creationMode (`NXOpen.CAE.AlternateFemRepresentationSourceCreateMeshMode`) – Mesh creation mode used to read the data file.

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetName

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetName`

  Sets the name of the FemDataSet

  Signature `SetName(name)`

  Parameters: | name (str) –

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## SetResultReference

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``SetResultReference`

  Sets the result reference

  Signature `SetResultReference(pResultRef)`

  Parameters: | pResultRef (`NXOpen.CAE.SimResultReference`) – Result Reference associated to the Fem Data Set.

  New in version NX12.0.0.

  License requirements: nx_masterfem (“Finite Element Modeling”) OR nx_design_sim (“NX Design Simulation”)

## Validate

`AlternateFemRepresentationSourceBuilder.``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.
