Method detail

ExclusionRegion.Activate() → None

Activate the current object.

ExclusionRegion.CopyTo(other: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.ExclusionRegion) → None

Copies all visible properties from this object to another.
Override because of copy order of properties

ExclusionRegion.CreateParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter

Creates a new parameter for a Property.

ExclusionRegion.Delete() → None

Run the Delete action.

ExclusionRegion.Duplicate() → Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Interfaces.IDataModelObject
