Property Detail¶
ExistingSymmetryPlane¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.ExistingSymmetryPlane¶ Returns the existing symmetry plane.
The
NXOpen.SelectFaceobject is employed to select existing planar face or datum plane as the symmetry plane if plane option is set toNXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptions.Existing.-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
ExistingSymmetryPlaneReturns: Return type: NXOpen.SelectISurfaceNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
MotionFace¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.MotionFace¶ Returns the motion face.
The constraint is applied between the motion face and a stationary face. The motion face is transformed when the constraint is applied.
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
MotionFaceReturns: Return type: NXOpen.SelectFaceNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
MoveAlongFace¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.MoveAlongFace¶ Returns the move along face.
The
NXOpen.Features.FaceRecognitionBuilderobject is employed to collect tag-along faces. When the motion face is selected it is used as a seed for recognition of tag-along faces.-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
MoveAlongFaceReturns: Return type: NXOpen.Features.FaceRecognitionBuilderNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
NewSymmetryPlane¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.NewSymmetryPlane¶ Returns or sets the new symmetry plane.
The
NXOpen.Planeobject is employed to define the symmetry plane if plane option is set toNXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptions.New.-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
NewSymmetryPlaneReturns: Return type: NXOpen.PlaneNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
-------------------------------------Setter Method
Signature
NewSymmetryPlaneParameters: newSymmetryPlane ( NXOpen.Plane) –New in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)
StationaryFace¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.StationaryFace¶ Returns the stationary face.
The constraint is applied between the stationary face and a motion face. The stationary face remains stationary when the constraint is applied.
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
StationaryFaceReturns: Return type: NXOpen.SelectFaceNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
SymmetryPlaneOption¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.SymmetryPlaneOption¶ Returns or sets the symmetry plane option.
The plane of symmetry is the plane that defines symmetry between the stationary face and the motion face. Either
NXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptions.ExistingorNXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptions.Newplane option could be employed to define the symmetry plane.-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
SymmetryPlaneOptionReturns: Return type: NXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptionsNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
-------------------------------------Setter Method
Signature
SymmetryPlaneOptionParameters: symmetryPlaneOption ( NXOpen.Features.SymmetricBuilderPlaneOptions) –New in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)
Method Detail¶
Validate¶
-
SymmetricBuilder.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.
