36.37 TopologyDemoldControl object

The TopologyDemoldControl object defines a topology demold control geometric restriction.

The TopologyDemoldControl object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.

36.37.1 TopologyDemoldControl(...)

This method creates a TopologyDemoldControl object.

Path
          mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].TopologyDemoldControl
        

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.

region

A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied. When used with a TopologyTask, there is no default value. When used with a ShapeTask, the default value is MODEL.

Optional arguments

csys

None or a DatumCsys object specifying the local coordinate system of the pullDirection. If csys=None, the global coordinate system is used. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The default value is None.

draftAngle

A Float specifying the draft angle. The default value is 0.0.

collisionCheckRegion

The SymbolicConstant DEMOLD_REGION or a Region object specifying the collision check region. If the value is DEMOLD_REGION, then the value of region is used as both the demold region and the collision check region. The default value is DEMOLD_REGION.

pointRegion

A Region object specifying the point on a plane perpendicular to the pull direction, used to specify the central plane when technique is POINT.

pullDirection

A VertexArray object of length 2 specifying the demold pull direction. Instead of through a Vertex, each point may be specified through a tuple of coordinates.

technique

A SymbolicConstant specifying the demold technique. Possible values are AUTO, AUTO_TIGHT, POINT, SURFACE, and STAMP. The default value is AUTO.

Return value

A TopologyDemoldControl object.

Exceptions

None.


36.37.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the TopologyDemoldControl object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the TopologyDemoldControl method, except for the name argument.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.


36.37.3  Members

The TopologyDemoldControl object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the TopologyDemoldControl method.
