Last update: 09.03.2026class Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.AMBuildSequence
Bases: object
An AM build sequence contains a minimum of two steps - a heating step followed by a dwell step.
All sequences must begin with a heat step and end with a dwell step.
Overview
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
GetStep |
Gets the build sequence step at the 1-based step number. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
CombineSteps |
Gets or sets the Combine Sequence Steps flag. [Default = False] |
CombinedDurationType |
Gets or sets the combined heating duration type. [Default = ScanTime] |
NumberOfSteps |
Gets or sets the number of steps in the build sequence. [Default = 2, Minimum = 2, Maximum = 31] |
Property detail
property AMBuildSequence.CombineSteps : bool | None
Gets or sets the Combine Sequence Steps flag. [Default = False]
An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.
property AMBuildSequence.CombinedDurationType : Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.AMHeatingDurationType | None
Gets or sets the combined heating duration type. [Default = ScanTime]
An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.
property AMBuildSequence.NumberOfSteps : int | None
Gets or sets the number of steps in the build sequence. [Default = 2, Minimum = 2, Maximum = 31]
An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True. An exception is also thrown if the value is less than 2 or greater than 31.
Method detail
AMBuildSequence.GetStep(stepNumber: int) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.AMBuildSequenceStep
Gets the build sequence step at the 1-based step number.
An exception is thrown if the stepNumber is less than 1 or greater than the number of steps. An exception is
also thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.
