The CellArray is a sequence of Cell objects.

This method creates a CellArray object.
part.CellArray
Return value
A CellArray object.
Exceptions
This method returns the object or objects in the CellArray located at the given coordinates. findAt initially uses the ACIS tolerance of 1E-6. As a result, findAt returns any entity that is at the arbitrary point specified or at a distance of less than 1E-6 from the arbitrary point. If nothing is found, findAt uses the tolerance for imprecise geometry (applicable only for imprecise geometric entities). The arbitrary point must not be shared by a second cell. If two cells intersect or coincide at the arbitrary point, findAt chooses the first cell that it encounters, and you should not rely on the return value being consistent.
findAt will always try to find objects among all the cells in the part or assembly instance and will not restrict itself to a subset even if the CellArray represents such subset.
Required argument
A sequence of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of the object to find.
findAt returns either a Cell object or a sequence of Cell objects based on the type of input. If coordinates is a sequence of Floats, findAt returns the Cell object at that point. If coordinates is a sequence of sequence of Floats, findAt returns a sequence of Cell objects at the given locations. The sequence of sequence of Floats must be a sequence of sequence of point and normal data, not a sequence of point data. For example,
cells1 = myCrackedBlockInstance.cells.findAt( ((5.5, -8.3, 294.2),), ((12.1, -8.3, 287.8),), ((14.4, -10.4, 285.5),),)
Optional argument
A Boolean specifying whether a message is to be printed to the CLI if no entity is found at the specified location. The default value is True.
Return value
A Cell object.
Exceptions
This method returns the object or objects in the CellArray identified using the specified mask. This command is generated when the JournalOptions are set to COMPRESSEDINDEX. When large number of objects are involved, this method is highly efficient.
Required argument
A String specifying the object or objects.
Optional arguments
Return value
A Cell object or a sequence of Cell objects.
Exceptions
An exception occurs if the resulting sequence is empty.
This method returns a string specifying the object or objects.
Arguments
Return value
A String specifying the object or objects.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of cell objects that lie within the specified bounding box.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
A float specifying the minimum X-boundary of the bounding box.
A float specifying the minimum Y-boundary of the bounding box.
A float specifying the minimum Z-boundary of the bounding box.
A float specifying the maximum X-boundary of the bounding box.
A float specifying the maximum Y-boundary of the bounding box.
A float specifying the maximum Z-boundary of the bounding box.
Return value
A CellArray object, which is a sequence of Cell objects.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of cell objects that lie within the specified bounding cylinder.
Required arguments
A tuple of the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of the center of the first end of the cylinder.
A tuple of the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of the center of the second end of the cylinder.
A float specifying the radius of the cylinder.
Optional arguments
Return value
A CellArray object, which is a sequence of Cell objects.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of cell objects that lie within the specified bounding sphere.
Required arguments
A tuple of the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of the center of the sphere.
A float specifying the radius of the sphere.
Optional arguments
Return value
A CellArray object, which is a sequence of Cell objects.
Exceptions
This method returns a dictionary of two tuples representing minimum and maximum boundary values of the bounding box of the minimum size containing the cell sequence.
Arguments
Return value
A Dictionary object with the following items:
low: a tuple of three floats representing the minimum X-, Y-, and Z-boundary values of the bounding box.
high: a tuple of three floats representing the maximum X-, Y-, and Z-boundary values of the bounding box.
