Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen::Features::SheetMetal::DimpleBuilder::DepthTypeOptions

This enum represents the depth direction for the dimple.

Enumerator:

DepthTypeOptionsSectionNormalSide	Dimple punched on the side of the section normal.
DepthTypeOptionsSectionReverseNormalSide	Dimple punched on the side opposite to that of the section normal.

enum NXOpen::Features::SheetMetal::DimpleBuilder::DimensionTypeOptions

the Dimension options for dimple.

This specifies whether the dimple's depth must be measured from the plane to which the section is attached or from the

Enumerator:

DimensionTypeOptionsOffset	the actual depth will be depth plus the thickness of sheet.
DimensionTypeOptionsFull	the actual extent distance will be the value specified as depth.

enum NXOpen::Features::SheetMetal::DimpleBuilder::SectionSideOptions

This enum represents the side of the section that the dimple punches material.

The "left" option represents the side to the left of a person who is walking along the section in the direction of its curves when the section normal is pointing up. The "right" option represents the person's right hand side. This interpretation is the same regardless of whether the section is open or closed. The "right" side at any point along the section can also be represented by the vector resulting from the cross product of the curve tangent (of the section curve at that point) and the section normal. The "left" side is the opposite.

Enumerator:

SectionSideOptionsLeft	Side pointed to by the inverse of the tangent cross normal vector.
SectionSideOptionsRight	Side pointed to by the tangent cross normal vector.

enum NXOpen::Features::SheetMetal::DimpleBuilder::SidewallTypeOptions

the side walls material option.

This specifies whether the dimple's outerwalls or the innerwalls coincide with the section outline

Enumerator:

SidewallTypeOptionsOutside	the innerface of the dimple side walls coincides with the section outline.
SidewallTypeOptionsInside	the outerface of the dimple side walls coincides with the section outline.
