CATTTRSUseItf Interface CATIRGE

Usage: an implementation of this interface is supplied and you must use it as is. You should not reimplement it.

interface CATIRGE

Interface representing RGEs (Reference Geometrical Elements).
Role: RGE is one of the two main concepts of the TTRS theory.

It is a handle representing either a surface, or one to three wireframes elements.
It respects the six TTRS class.
It is made up of a point and/or a line and/or a plane.

Method Index

o GetMathRGE(CATMathRGE*&): Computes its corresponding CATMathRGE.
o GetReferencedGeometry(CATBaseUnknown_var&): Returns the geometrical element associated to the RGE.
o GetReferencedGeometry(CATPoint_var&,CATLine_var&,CATPlane_var&): Gets the one to three geometrical elements associated to the RGE if they exist (skeleton model).
o GetTTRSClass(CATMmrTTRSClass&): Gets the TTRS Class of the RGE.
o ReplaceReferencedGeometry(CATBaseUnknown_var&): Replaces the single geometrical element associated to the RGE by another of the same TTRS Class
o ReplaceReferencedGeometry(CATPoint_var&,CATLine_var&,CATPlane_var&): Replaces the geometrical elements associated to the RGE by one to three GeometricalElements.

Methods

o GetMathRGE

public virtual GetMathRGE( oMathRGE)

Computes its corresponding CATMathRGE. You just have to ask this CATMathRGE for its coordinates (CATMathPoint, CAMathLine, CATMathPlane).

Parameters:

oMathRGE: The CATMathRGE.

o GetReferencedGeometry

public virtual GetReferencedGeometry( oReferencedGeometry)

Returns the geometrical element associated to the RGE.

Parameters:

oReferencedGeometry: In general, oReferencedGeometry is a feature representing a relimited surface.
GeometricalElement may be NULL in case of a RGE representing several wireframe features :
For example : a point and a line for a Revolute RGE.
In that case, use GetReferencedGeometry(CATPoint_var, CATLine_var, CATPlane_var)

o GetReferencedGeometry

public virtual GetReferencedGeometry(		`oPoint`,
		`oLine`,
		`oPlane`)

Gets the one to three geometrical elements associated to the RGE if they exist (skeleton model).
(to be used only if GetReferencedGeometry(CATBaseUnknown_var) returns nothing).

Parameters:

oPoint: The point.
oLine: The line.
oPlane: The plane.

o GetTTRSClass

public virtual GetTTRSClass( oTTRSClass)

Gets the TTRS Class of the RGE.

Parameters:

oTTRSClass

The TTRS class of the RGE
Legal values: There are six classes of surfaces, TTRS and RGE :

Spherical, Planar, Cylindrical, Prismatic, Revolute, Complex

o ReplaceReferencedGeometry

public virtual ReplaceReferencedGeometry( iNewGeometry)

Replaces the single geometrical element associated to the RGE by another of the same TTRS Class

Parameters:

iNewGeometry: The replacing geometry.

o ReplaceReferencedGeometry

public virtual ReplaceReferencedGeometry(		`oPoint`,
		`oLine`,
		`oPlane`)

Replaces the geometrical elements associated to the RGE by one to three GeometricalElements.
Typical usage are skeleton models: to replace a conic RSUR by a point (the apex) and a line (the axis).

Parameters:

oPoint: The point.
oLine: The line.
oPlane: The plane.
