Detailed Description

This class represents a structural element, i.e.

a set of geometrical objects built along geometrical primitives. Structural elements are normally created by the class StructuralElementManager, so this class should not be instantiated directly in the general case.

Member Function Documentation

_getSObject()

def _getSObject (   self )

private

Find or create the study object corresponding to the structural element.

This object is a Geom Folder named "SE_N" where N is a numerical ID.

addPart()

def addPart	(		self,
			newpart
	)

Add a part to the structural element.

Parameters

newpart

(StructuralElementPart) the part to add to the structural element.

References StructuralElement._parts, and StructuralElement._shapeDict.

addOrientation()

def addOrientation	(		self,
			meshGroup,
			orientParams
	)

Add orientation information to a part in the structural element.

This information will be used to build the corresponding markers.

Parameters

meshGroup	(string) the name of a geometrical primitive. The orientation information will apply to the structural element part built along this primitive.
orientParams	(dictionary) parameters defining the orientation of the structural element part. Those parameters are detailed in class orientation.Orientation1D.

References StructuralElement._parts.

build()

def build

(

self

)

Build the geometric shapes and the markers corresponding to the different parts of the structural element, and add them to the study.

References StructuralElement._getSObject(), StructuralElement._parts, and geomtools.getGeompy().

display()

def display

(

self

)

Display the structural element in the geom view.

References StructuralElement._SObject.

showElement()

def showElement (   theSObject )

static

Display the structural element corresponding to the study object theSObject.
