Method Detail

GetDataContainer

CaeSession.GetDataContainer

Returns a NXOpen.CAE.CaeDataContainer to be used for specifying input parameters operations like Simulation Import and Export.

Signature GetDataContainer()

Returns:the Cae Data Container Return type:NXOpen.CAE.CaeDataContainer

New in version NX7.5.0.

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

ImportSimulation

CaeSession.ImportSimulation

Creates a NXOpen.CAE.SimPart and a NXOpen.CAE.FemPart from solver specific data.

Import is driven by that properties defined in the input NXOpen.CAE.CaeDataContainer propertyList. The exact properties can vary from solver to solver.

Signature ImportSimulation(solverName, propertyList)

Parameters:

• solverName (str) – the solver name to indicate what type of data is being imported
• propertyList (NXOpen.CAE.CaeDataContainer) – the import parameters see GetDataContainer().

Returns:

Return type:

NXOpen.CAE.CaePart

SetFileNewContext

CaeSession.SetFileNewContext

Sets the context part for use in naming new FEM, Sim, and Idealized parts in managed mode.

Signature SetFileNewContext(contextPart)

Parameters:contextPart (NXOpen.NXObject) – the context part
