Method Detail

Evaluate

SimConditionSequence.Evaluate

Overloaded method Evaluate

  • Evaluate(time)
  • Evaluate(time, update)

-------------------------------------

Evaluate all NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionParam related expressions at a given time. Will update the expressions. Time units are the ones defined by NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionSequence.SetTimeUnits().

Signature Evaluate(time)

Parameters:time (float) –

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

-------------------------------------

Convenience overloaded method provided to control if an update will be requested after NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionSequence has been evaluated.

Signature Evaluate(time, update)

Parameters:
  • time (float) –
  • update (bool) –

GetValue

SimConditionSequence.GetValue

Overloaded method GetValue

  • GetValue(param, time)
  • GetValue(param, time, behavior)

-------------------------------------

Returns the interpolated value of a NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionParam at the specified time. Same units as specified NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionParam. Will error out if specified time value is out of range.

Signature GetValue(param, time)

Parameters:
Returns:
Return type:

float

New in version NX9.0.0.

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

-------------------------------------

Returns the interpolated value of a NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionParam at the specified time. Same units as specified NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionParam. Will behave as specified in NXOpen.CAE.SimConditionSequenceOutOfRangeBehavior.

Signature GetValue(param, time, behavior)

Parameters:
Returns:
