Method detail
BodyMergeSequence.Activate() → None
Activate the current object.
BodyMergeSequence.AddComment() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Comment
Creates a new child Comment.
BodyMergeSequence.AddFigure() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Figure
Creates a new child Figure.
BodyMergeSequence.AddImage(filePath: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Image
Creates a new child Image.
If a filePath is provided, the image will be loaded from that file,
if not, the image will be a screen capture of the Geometry window.
BodyMergeSequence.ClearGeneratedData() → None
Reverses all previously executed body merge operations, effectively undoing the actions performed by Generate.
BodyMergeSequence.CopyTo(other: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.DataModelObject) → None
Copies all visible properties from this object to another.
BodyMergeSequence.CreateAndAppend() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.BodyMerge
Creates new body merge at the end of the sequence and returns the object.
BodyMergeSequence.CreateParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter
Creates a new parameter for a Property.
BodyMergeSequence.Duplicate() → Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Interfaces.IDataModelObject
Creates a copy of the current DataModelObject.
BodyMergeSequence.Generate() → None
Executes all body merge operators in sequential order.
BodyMergeSequence.GetChildren(recurses: bool, children: List[ChildrenType]) → List[ChildrenType]
Gets the list of children, filtered by type.
BodyMergeSequence.GetParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter
Gets the parameter corresponding to the given property.
BodyMergeSequence.GroupAllSimilarChildren() → None
Run the GroupAllSimilarChildren action.
BodyMergeSequence.GroupSimilarObjects() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.TreeGroupingFolder
Run the GroupSimilarObjects action.
BodyMergeSequence.PropertyByAPIName(name: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Property
Get a property by its API name.
If multiple properties have the same API Name, only the first property with that name will be returned.
BodyMergeSequence.PropertyByName(name: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Property
Get a property by its unique name.
BodyMergeSequence.RemoveParameter(propName: str) → None
Removes the parameter from the parameter set corresponding to the given property.
