36.43 TurnControl object

The TurnControl object defines a turn control geometric restriction.

The TurnControl object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.

36.43.1 TurnControl(...)

This method creates a TurnControl object.

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

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.

clientDirection

A VertexArray object of length 2 specifying the direction of the rotation axis as a vector positioned at the csys origin. Instead of through a Vertex, each point may be specified through a tuple of coordinates.

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. If csys=None, the global coordinate system is used. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The default value is None.

masterPoint

None or a Region object specifying the master point used when masterPointDetermination is SPECIFY. The default value is None.

masterPointDetermination

A SymbolicConstant specifying the rule for assigning point priority. Possible values are MAXIMUM, MINIMUM, and SPECIFY. The default value is MAXIMUM.

presumeFeasibleRegionAtStart

A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design cycle. The default value is ON.

tolerance1

A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 1-direction. The default value is 0.01.

tolerance2

A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 2-direction. The default value is 0.01.

tolerance3

A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 3-direction. The default value is 0.01.

Return value

A TurnControl object.

Exceptions

None.


36.43.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the TurnControl object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.


36.43.3  Members

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