Member Function Documentation

Returns the angle law.

The only supported law type is GeometricUtilities::LawBuilder::TypeMultiTransition .
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns the base curves.

Base curves must be G1 continuous.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns the base faces.

The base faces could be from different sheet bodies, but they must be G1 continuous.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns the base pipe continuity factor.

It's used to determine what percentage of the arc will be trimmed away in order to build the transition surface between the base faces and the pipe.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns the base pipe continuity.


Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns a value that indicates whether to create curves.

When this option is true, the center line curve of the pipe and silhouette flange curve at zero degrees will be output.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns a value that indicates whether to extend flange until the boundary edges of the base faces.

This option will be enforced if Trim Base Faces option is true. The base faces cannot be trimmed if the pipe does not hit the boundary edges of base faces.

License requirements : None

Return the center curve.

Returns:

Created in NX8.0.0.

License requirements : None

A value indicating whether to flip the direction.

If the direction is flipped, the pipe is placed to the opposite side of base faces and flange direction is flipped.

Returns:

Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None

Returns a value indicating whether to flip the side.

If the side is flipped, the pipe is placed to the other side of base curves for Basic Type and the other side of the pipe of the parent feature for Absolute/Visual Gap Type.

Returns:

Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : None
