FlangeEdgeDefinitions.addTwoSidedEdge Method

FlangeEdgeDefinitions

This functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

Adds an edge with independent widths on each side. The flange is centered on the midpoint of the edge but the input distances independently define the width of each side of the flange as measured from the midpoint of the edge.

Syntax

Python
C++
TypeScript 🧪

"flangeEdgeDefinitions_var" is a variable referencing a FlangeEdgeDefinitions object.

returnValue = flangeEdgeDefinitions_var.addTwoSidedEdge(edge, distanceOne, distanceTwo)

"flangeEdgeDefinitions_var" is a variable referencing a FlangeEdgeDefinitions object.

#include <Fusion/SheetMetal/FlangeEdgeDefinitions.h>

returnValue = flangeEdgeDefinitions_var->addTwoSidedEdge(edge, distanceOne, distanceTwo);

"flangeEdgeDefinitions_var" is a variable referencing a FlangeEdgeDefinitions object.

returnValue = flangeEdgeDefinitions_var.addTwoSidedEdge(edge, distanceOne, distanceTwo);

Parameters

edge

BRepEdge

The BRepEdge that defines where the flange will be created. The edge must be linear and along the outside of a sheet metal body.

distanceOne

ValueInput

The width of the first side of the flange as measured from the midpoint of the edge. This value is used to create the parameter that defines the width. If it is a real value it will be interpreted as centimeters. If it is a string it behaves the same as entering the value in the command dialog. A string like "1.5" will be 1.5 of whatever the current design units are. You can also specify the units as part of the string so "1.5 in" is valid. You can also define equations like "length / 2" where length is the name of an existing parameter.

distanceTwo

ValueInput

The width of the second side of the flange as measured from the midpoint of the edge. This value is used to create the parameter that defines the width. If it is a real value it will be interpreted as centimeters. If it is a string it behaves the same as entering the value in the command dialog. A string like "1.5" will be 1.5 of whatever the current design units are. You can also specify the units as part of the string so "1.5 in" is valid. You can also define equations like "length / 2" where length is the name of an existing parameter.
