VolumetricModelFeatures.createInput Method

Parent Object: VolumetricModelFeatures

Preview 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.

Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/VolumetricModelFeatures.h>

Description

Creates a VolumetricModelFeatureInput object. Use properties and methods on this object to define the volumetric model feature you want to create and then use the Add method, passing in the VolumetricModelFeatureInput object.

"volumetricModelFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a VolumetricModelFeatures object.

returnValue = volumetricModelFeatures_var.createInput(boundaryBody)

"volumetricModelFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a VolumetricModelFeatures object.

#include <Fusion/Features/VolumetricModelFeatures.h>

returnValue = volumetricModelFeatures_var->createInput(boundaryBody);

"volumetricModelFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a VolumetricModelFeatures object.

returnValue = volumetricModelFeatures_var.createInput(boundaryBody);

Return Value

Type	Description
VolumetricModelFeatureInput	Returns the newly created VolumetricModelFeatureInput object or null if the creation failed.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
boundaryBody	Base	The boundary body for the volumetric model. Must be a BRepBody or MeshBody. Must have the same parent component as the VolumetricModelFeatures.

Samples

Volumetric Custom Feature API Sample

Demonstrates how to create a Volumetric Custom Feature using the API for graph creation.

To run the sample script, have a document open in Fusion’s DESIGN workspace. This script will create a component with a box by sketching then extruding that sketch. It will then use that box as a boundary body and create a Volumetric Custom Feature.

The script will then create a gyroid lattice using the Volumetric Model API with the appropriate graphs, nodes, and pin connections for a minimal example. Finally, the script will convert that Volumetric Model to Mesh using the API and the VolumetricModelToMeshFeature.
