Attribute Details

active : Bool

Returns or sets the object activeness.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents active too.

name : Attribute

Returns or sets the name of the object.

It can be any text string, including spaces, although it’s best to avoid using the following characters: ” ‘ * ? and $.

While these characters are allowed, they could create difficulties when you export the model to other applications.

visible : Bool

Determines whether the object is visible in the graphics window.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents visible too.

Property Details

property history

History: Get the history object used to manage undo/redo.

property model

Model: Get the model this object belongs to.

property parent

Assembly: Returns the parent of this entity.

property units

UnitManager: Get the model’s unit manager

Method Details

classmethod getClass(cls, className)

Returns the class of the object.

It can be simple or qualified (with namespace). If the name is simple, we prepend the cls.namespace.

param className

The class name.

type className

Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]

returns

The class for the specified className.

rtype

Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]

destroy(self)

Delete the object removing it from the model.

The object may come back due to an undo/redo.

getAllChildren(self, type=None, **kwds)

Returns a list of all children that matches the specified type.

param type

Filter to use to get the children based on object type.

type type

list[Named]

param **kwds

Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes of the object.

returns

The list of children that satisfy the supplied filters.

rtype

list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]

getChild(self, name=None, recursive=False, **kwds)

Returns the child of the object which matches the specified unique name.

param name

The name of the child object.

type name

str

param recursive

Search all descendents.

type recursive

bool

param **kwds

Additional keyword arguments to match attributes of the object.

returns

The child object which satisfies the specified filters.

rtype

Named

getChildren(self, type=None, recursive=False, sorted=False, **kwds)

Returns a list of children that is of the specified type.

param type

Filter objects by class.

type type

Type[Named]

param recursive

True to get all descendent Parts and Assemblies.

type recursive

bool

param sorted

Sort the children base on id.

type sorted

bool

returns

list[Named]

getDependents(self, recursive=False, **kwds)

Get objects that reference this object through a Reference attribute.

param recursive

type recursive

bool

param **kwds

Filter objects using isa.

returns

set[Named]

getReferences(self, recursive=False, **kwds)

Get objects this object references through a Reference attribute.

param recursive

type recursive

bool

param **kwds

Filter objects using isa.

returns

set[Named]

isa(self, type=None, filter=None, name=None, wildcard=None, **kwds)

Determines if the object matches the specified settings or not.

param type

The type of the object.

type type

Union[Part, Assembly, Contact..]

param filter

Return value of specified callback method.

type filter

method

param name

Name that matches exactly with object name.

type name

str

param wildcard

A pattern to match exactly with the object name.

type wildcard

str

param **kwds

Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes.

returns

True, if a match is found, otherwise False.

rtype

bool

modelPositions(self)

Forces all objects to return the original model positions instead of the current analysis positions.

Useful when defining draw methods on GeneralObjects where behaviour is different while animating.
