CreateFacetBody

FacetedBodyCollection.CreateFacetBody

Creates a JT NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody using the default faceting tolerances.

The output facetBodies and errorTable arrays are the same size as the input nSolidBodies. The errorTable array provides information about any errors encountered when faceting bodies. Note that it is possible that faceted bodies with 0 facets are created (and returned in the facetBodies parameter). For this case, the errorTable will contain the UF_FACET_err_zero_facets_produced error. If there is an existing facet body it will get refaceted with the previous tolerance used to tessellate it . See NXOpen.Body.GetFacetedBody() for ways to check for this situation.

Signature CreateFacetBody(solidBodies)

Parameters:solidBodies (list of NXOpen.Body) –
Returns:a tuple
Return type:A tuple consisting of (facetBodies, errorTable). facetBodies is a list of NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody. errorTable is a list of int.

New in version NX7.5.5.

License requirements: adv_assemblies (“ADVANCED ASSEMBLIES”)

CreateFacetBodyFromFaces

FacetedBodyCollection.CreateFacetBodyFromFaces

Creates a JT NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody using the default faceting tolerances.

The output facetBodies and errorTable arrays are the same size as the input nSolidFaces. The errorTable array provides information about any errors encountered when faceting bodies. Note that it is possible that faceted bodies with 0 facets are created (and returned in the facetBodies parameter). For this case, the errorTable will contain the UF_FACET_err_zero_facets_produced error. If there is an existing facet body it will get refaceted with the previous tolerance used to tessellate it . See NXOpen.Body.GetFacetedBody() for ways to check for this situation.

Signature CreateFacetBodyFromFaces(solidFaces)

Parameters:solidFaces (list of NXOpen.Face) –
Returns:a tuple

FindObject

FacetedBodyCollection.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody 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)

Returns:Faceted body with this identifier
Return type:NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody

New in version NX5.0.0.

Parameters:solidBody (NXOpen.Body) – The body for which to get associated faceted bodies
Returns:a tuple
Return type:A tuple consisting of (associatedFacetedBodies, numberOfUnloadedFacetedBodies). associatedFacetedBodies is a list of NXOpen.Facet.FacetedBody. Array of loaded associated faceted bodies numberOfUnloadedFacetedBodies is a int. The number of unloaded associated faceted bodies for this solids body
