InterferenceInput Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Fusion/InterferenceInput.h>

Description

Used to gather and define the various inputs and settings needed to calculate interference. This object is created using the Design.createInterferenceInput method.

Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().

Properties

Name Description
areCoincidentFacesIncluded Gets and sets whether any coincident faces in the input bodies are considered as interference or not. This property defaults to False for a newly created InterferenceInput object.
entities Gets and set an ObjectCollection containing BRepBody and/or Occurrence entities that will be used when checking for interference. All entities must be in the context of the root component of the top-level design.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():

Samples

Name Description
Analyze Interference API Sample Demonstrates analyzing the interference between components. This uses a direct modeling design because the ability to create bodies that represent the interference volume is only supported in a direct modeling design.
Interference API Sample Demonstrates Interference APIs.
