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.

autoCalculateCG : Bool

Determines whether the center of gravity is auto calculated.

autoCalculateMass : Bool

Determines whether the mass value is automatically calculated based upon volume and material density.

autoCalculateMoment : Bool

Determines whether the mass moment of inertia is automatically calculated.

cg : Location (units=”length”)

Returns the object’s global center of gravity as a point.

color : Color

Determines the color assigned to the object when it is displayed in the modeling window.

The default color for parts is gray, but a different color can be assigned.

detectCollisions : Bool

Determines whether to detect collision.

It prevents parts in the model from overlapping and has been enabled by default.

ground : Bool

Returns or sets the object to be ground or immovable.

ip : Inertia (units=”massMI”)

Specifies the inertial properties of this object.

Resistance to change in motion (ixx, iyy, izz, ixy, izy, ixz).

mass : Double (units=”m”)

The mass of the object.

material : Attribute

The material of the object.

Every part in the model has a material assigned to it. The default material is steel, but a different material can be assigned.

modifiable : Bool

Determines whether the selected object can be edited.

morphable : Bool

Determines whether the selected object shape can be changed.

movable : Bool

Determines whether the selected object can be translated in the modeling window or has been locked in place.

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.

position : Attribute

Specifies the global transform as a Matrix44.

transparency : Double

Specifies the transparency of the object.

Allows you to change the transparency, according to a percentage. By default, objects are 0% transparent(opaque).

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.

volume : Double (units=”volume”)

The volume of the object in the assembly.

Property Details

property currentRepresentation

str: The active representation

property features

Returns the list of features.

property representations

list[str]: Existing geometries of the part. ParasolidRep, StlRep, OpenVDBRep, PolymeshRep, …

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.

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.

type recursive

bool

param **kwds

Additional keyword arguments to match attributes of the object.

returns

The child object which satisfies the specified filters.

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.
