The IgnoredEdgeArray is a sequence of IgnoredEdge objects. If the part is modified, then IgnoredEdgeArray must be updated for that part.
import part mdb.models[name].parts[name].ignoredEdges import assembly mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.allinstances.ignoredEdges mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].ignoredEdges
This method returns the object or objects in the IgnoredEdgeArray located at the given coordinates.
findAt initially uses the ACIS tolerance of 1E-6. As a result, findAt returns any IgnoredEdge 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 IgnoredEdge. If two IgnoredEdge objects intersect or coincide at the arbitrary point, findAt chooses the first IgnoredEdge that it encounters, and you should not rely on the return value being consistent.
findAt will always try to find objects among all the ignored edges in the part or assembly instance and will not restrict itself to a subset even if the IgnoredEdgeArray represents such subset.
Required argument
A sequence of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of the object to find.
findAt returns either an IgnoredEdge object or a sequence of IgnoredEdge objects based on the type of input.
If coordinates is a sequence of Floats, findAt returns the IgnoredEdge object at that point.
If you omit the coordinates keyword argument, findAt accepts as arguments a sequence of sequence of floats in the following format:
ignoredEdges = e.findAt(((20.19686, -169.513997, 27.798593), ), ((19.657627, -167.295749, 27.056402), ), ((18.274129, -157.144741, 25.15218), ))
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
An IgnoredEdge object or a sequence of IgnoredEdge objects.
Exceptions
This method returns the object or objects in the IgnoredEdgeArray 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
An IgnoredEdge object or a sequence of IgnoredEdge objects.
Exceptions
This method returns a string specifying the object or objects.
Arguments
Return value
A String specifying the object or objects.
Exceptions
This method returns a object or objects in the IgnoredEdgeArray closest to the given set of points, where the given points need not lie on the edges in the IgnoredEdgeArray.
Required argument
A sequence of a sequence of floats, where each sequence of floats describes the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of a point.
r=e.getClosest(coordinates=((20.0,20.0,10.0),(-1.0, -15.0, 15),))r.keys()[0, 1]r[0](mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Part-1'].ignoredEdges[3], (15.7090625762939, 20.0, 10.0))
Optional argument
A double specifying the distance within which the closest object must lie. The default value is half of the parent part/instance size.
Return value
This method returns a dictionary object. The key to the dictionary object is the position of the input point in the tuple specified in the coordinates starting at index 0. If a closest IgnoredEdge could be found then the value is a sequence consisting of two objects. The first object in the sequence is an IgnoredEdge that is close to the input point referred to by the key. The second object in the sequence, is a sequence of floats which specify the X-, Y-, and Z-location of the closest point on the IgnoredEdge to the given point. See program listing above.
Exceptions
An exception occurs if the resulting sequence is empty.
