DeleteSolution

SimSimulation.DeleteSolution

Delete the solution

Signature DeleteSolution(solution)

Parameters:solution (NXOpen.CAE.SimSolution) – the NXOpen.CAE.SimSolution to be deleted

New in version NX4.0.0.

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

FindObject

SimSimulation.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject 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) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Print

SimSimulation.Print

Prints a representation of this object to the system log file.

Signature Print()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetName

SimSimulation.SetName

Sets the custom name of the object.

NOTE: This method should not be used to edit a read-only object such as a Mirrored PMI object. If it is, the changes will be overridden when the part is updated.

Signature SetName(name)

Parameters:name (str) –

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SmoothOptResultsCreateBuilder

SimSimulation.SmoothOptResultsCreateBuilder

Creates a NXOpen.CAE.SmoothOptResultsBuilder

Signature SmoothOptResultsCreateBuilder()

Returns:The SmoothOptResultsBuilder object
Return type:NXOpen.CAE.SmoothOptResultsBuilder

New in version NX12.0.0.
