Detailed Description

Represents a CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder which can be used to create mutiple elements in one efficient opertation.

<br>

The general procedure for creating elements is to:

Define the type of elements to be create through the CAE::ElementTypeBuilder and the properties of CAE::ElementTypeBuilder::ElementTypeName and CAE::ElementTypeBuilder::SetElementTypeName
Optionally define elements labeling requirements through CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::StartLabel and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetStartLabel and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::LabelIncrement and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetLabelIncrement
Define elements through CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::AddElement
Create Mesh and elements through Builder::Commit or CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::CommitElements . Commiting the builder removes the current element defintions so that it can be reused to create more elements.

Member Function Documentation

void NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::AddElement ( const std::vector< NXOpen::CAE::FENode * > & nodes )

Adds new element definition defined by the list of input CAE::FENode objects.

New element will be created only after CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::CommitElements is done. Since element labels weren't specified, the builder will assign them automatically based on the setting of CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::StartLabel and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetStartLabel and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::LabelIncrement and CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetLabelIncrement
Created in NX7.5.2.

Parameters

nodes input list of nodes

void NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::AddElement	(	const std::vector< NXOpen::CAE::FENode * > &	nodes,
		int	label
	)

Adds new element definition defined by the list of input CAE::FENode objects.

New element will be created only after CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::CommitElements is done.

Created in NX7.5.2.

License requirements : nx_masterfem ("Finite Element Modeling")

Parameters

nodes	input list of nodes, The number of nodes and the order of the nodes must be consistent with the defined element type.
label	new FEElement label. If the specified label is less than or equal to 0 then the builder will automatically assign a valid label based on the builders labeling rules. If a label is specified it must be unique in this part.

std::vector<NXOpen::CAE::FEElement *> NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::CommitElements ( )

Commits the Builder, which creates elements as they were defined and returns the newly create elements.

       The method @link Builder::Commit Builder::Commit@endlink  will also do the same thing
       except instead of returning elements, it will return the newly created @link CAE::Mesh CAE::Mesh@endlink  which
       contains the new elements.
       @link Builder::GetCommittedObjects Builder::GetCommittedObjects@endlink 
       can't be used to return elements since they are not of type @link  NXObject  NXObject@endlink .  It will however 
       return the newly created @link CAE::Mesh CAE::Mesh@endlink 
     @return  new FEElements positions

NXOpen::CAE::ElementTypeBuilder* NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::ElementType ( )

Returns the element type builder.

Through the CAE::ElementTypeBuilder you can specify both the type of element to create as well as the destination CAE::MeshCollector the new elements will be placed in.
Created in NX7.5.2.

int NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::LabelIncrement ( )

Returns the label increment used when calculating next element label when assigning element labels
Created in NX7.5.2.

License requirements : None

void NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetLabelIncrement ( int increment )

Sets the label increment used when calculating next element label when assigning element labels
Created in NX7.5.2.

License requirements : nx_masterfem ("Finite Element Modeling")

Parameters

increment increment

void NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::SetStartLabel ( int label )

Sets the starting label used to assign element labels, if no explicit labels were defined.

If no start label is specified, the next available element for this part.
Created in NX7.5.2.

License requirements : nx_masterfem ("Finite Element Modeling")

Parameters

label label

int NXOpen::CAE::MultipleElementCreateBuilder::StartLabel ( )

Returns the starting label used to assign element labels, if no explicit labels were defined.

If no start label is specified, the next available element for this part.
Created in NX7.5.2.
