Method detail
MeshWorkflowStep.Activate() → None
Activate the current object.
MeshWorkflowStep.AddControl(type: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.MechanicalEnums.MeshWorkflow.ControlType) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.MeshWorkflowControl
Adds a MeshWorkflowControl node as child node of the “Step” tree node. This control node can be created under any step node. This node is created to set properties that are required for executing an operation.
MeshWorkflowStep.AddFigure() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Figure
Creates a new child Figure.
MeshWorkflowStep.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.
MeshWorkflowStep.AddOutcome(type: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.MechanicalEnums.MeshWorkflow.OutcomeType) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.MeshWorkflowOutcome
Adds a MeshWorkflowOutcome node as child node of the “Step” tree node. This outcome node can be created under any step node. This node is created to see the results after executing an operation.
MeshWorkflowStep.ClearDataAndDisableCheckpoint() → None
Clear checkpoint data and disable checkpointing for the step.
MeshWorkflowStep.CopyTo(other: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.DataModelObject) → None
Copies all visible properties from this object to another.
MeshWorkflowStep.CreateParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter
Creates a new parameter for a Property.
MeshWorkflowStep.Delete() → None
Run the Delete action.
MeshWorkflowStep.Duplicate() → Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Interfaces.IDataModelObject
Creates a copy of the current DataModelObject.
MeshWorkflowStep.GetChildren(recurses: bool, children: List[ChildrenType]) → List[ChildrenType]
