Detailed Description

Represents a CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder builder used to align the normals of connected shell elements with a seed shell element.

You can align the normals by executing either Builder::Commit or CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::AlignNormals . The difference between these two methods is Builder::Commit aligns the normals and updates normal display, but it does not return the elements that have changed normals. CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::AlignNormals aligns the normals and returns the elements that have changed normals. Both of the methods are only available in fem context.

Created in NX8.5.0.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen::CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::ConnectedElementScope

the options to define the connection scope to the seed element for model checking

Enumerator:

ConnectedElementScopeSeedMesh	Limits check to only those shell elements in the mesh that contains the Seed Element.
ConnectedElementScopeAllVisible	Limits check to only those shell elements which are connected to the Seed Element and are currently visible.
ConnectedElementScopeUserSpecified	Limits check to only those shell elements specified in CAE::ModelCheck::AlignShellElementNormalBuilder::UserSpecifiedConnectElements.
