MeshControl (hwx.inspire.core)¶
Create mesh controls to assign an element size to parts or faces.
The element size dictates the quality of your analysis or optimization results. In general, the smaller the element size, the more accurate the result.
- param meshSize
Element size used in structural analyses. Applies to passed parts and features.
- type meshSize
float
- param parts
- type parts
list[Part]
- param features
- type features
list[FeatureArea]

Attribute Details¶
active : Bool¶
Returns or sets the object activeness.
Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents active too.
features : Attribute¶
Features to apply meshSize to.
meshSize : Double (units=”length”)¶
Element size
name : Attribute¶
Returns or sets the name of the object.
It can be any text string, including spaces, although it’s best to avoid using the following characters: ” ‘ * ? and $.
While these characters are allowed, they could create difficulties when you export the model to other applications.
parts : Attribute¶
Parts to apply meshSize to.
visible : Bool¶
Determines whether the object is visible in the graphics window.
Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents visible too.
Method Details¶
- classmethod getClass(cls, className)¶
Returns the class of the object.
It can be simple or qualified (with namespace). If the name is simple, we prepend the cls.namespace.
- param className
The class name.
- type className
Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
- returns
The class for the specified className.
- rtype
Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
- destroy(self)¶
Delete the object removing it from the model.
The object may come back due to an undo/redo.
- getAllChildren(self, type=None, **kwds)¶
Returns a list of all children that matches the specified type.
- param type
Filter to use to get the children based on object type.
- type type
list[Named]
- param **kwds
Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes of the object.
- returns
The list of children that satisfy the supplied filters.
- rtype
list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
- getChild(self, name=None, recursive=False, **kwds)¶
Returns the child of the object which matches the specified unique name.
- param name
The name of the child object.
- type name
str
- param recursive
Search all descendents.
- type recursive
bool
- param **kwds
Additional keyword arguments to match attributes of the object.
- returns
The child object which satisfies the specified filters.
- rtype
Named
- getChildren(self, type=None, recursive=False, sorted=False, **kwds)¶
Returns a list of children that is of the specified type.
- param type
Filter objects by class.
- type type
Type[Named]
- param recursive
True to get all descendent Parts and Assemblies.
- type recursive
bool
- param sorted
Sort the children base on id.
- type sorted
bool
- returns
list[Named]
- getDependents(self, recursive=False, **kwds)¶
Get objects that reference this object through a Reference attribute.
- param recursive
- type recursive
bool
- param **kwds
Filter objects using isa.
- returns
set[Named]
- getReferences(self, recursive=False, **kwds)¶
Get objects this object references through a Reference attribute.
- param recursive
- type recursive
bool
- param **kwds
Filter objects using isa.
- returns
set[Named]
- isa(self, type=None, filter=None, name=None, wildcard=None, **kwds)¶
Determines if the object matches the specified settings or not.
- param type
The type of the object.
- type type
Union[Part, Assembly, Contact..]
- param filter
Return value of specified callback method.
- type filter
method
- param name
Name that matches exactly with object name.
- type name
str
- param wildcard
A pattern to match exactly with the object name.
- type wildcard
str
- param **kwds
Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes.
- returns
True, if a match is found, otherwise False.
- rtype
bool
- modelPositions(self)¶
Forces all objects to return the original model positions instead of the current analysis positions.
Useful when defining draw methods on GeneralObjects where behaviour is different while animating.
