Cavities (hwx.inspire.core)¶

A list of hollows in the model

Useful for plugging cavities. Unlike Holes that are used for regular shaped (cylindrical, slotted) which are used in defining Part connections, like Motors and Actuators, Cavities can be irregular shaped.

Public Methods¶

Method Details¶

cavities(self)¶

Returns a list of hollows in the model

getHoleFromFeature(self, feature, holeList=True)¶

Returns the holes found from the specified feature.

param feature: Part feature on which holes need to be found.
type feature: Feature
param holeList: If True, returns the holes as a list.
type holeList: bool
returns: Holes found from the feature.
rtype: Holes

getUnfilteredHoleFromFeature(self, feature)¶

Returns aligned hole from specified feature.

param feature: Part feature on which aligned hole need to be found.
type feature: Feature
returns: Aligned Hole found from the feature.
rtype: AlignedHole

getUnfilteredSingleHoleFromFeature(self, feature)¶

Returns the single hole found from specified feature.

param feature: Part feature on which single hole need to be found.
type feature: Feature
returns: Single Hole found from the feature.
rtype: Hole

makeDirty(self)¶

Repopulates the holes.

plugAll(self)¶

Create and return parts that fills the cavities

populate(self, minsize=None, maxsize=None, parts=None)¶

Get the cavities for the specified parts or the entire model of parts were not specified

param minsize: Get the holes with a size larger than minsize
type minsize: float
param maxsize: Get the holes with a size smaller than maxsize
type maxsize: float
param parts: Get the holes for these parts
type parts: Part, list[Parts]
