GMOperatorsInterfaces Interface CATICGMDynShell

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

interface CATICGMDynShell

Interface representing the topological operator of shell.
A shell operation is available on bodies containing volumes: it corresponds to two thickness operations on the body, with two different offset values, followed by a subtraction between the results of the thicknes operations. As all the topological operators, the input objects are not modified. The resulting body is a new one, that you can get by using the CATICGMDynOperator::GetResult method. To use it:

Create it with the CATCGMCreateDynShell global function.
Tune it with appropriate options, using the SetXxx methods.
Run it
Get the resulting GetResult method. If you do not want to keep these resulting body, use the method to remove them from the geometric factory, after the operator deletion.
Release the operator with the Release method after use.

Method Index

o Append(CATLISTP(CATFace)&): Sets a list of faces with null internal and external offset values.
o Append(CATLISTP(CATFace)&,double,double): Modifies the offset values for a list of faces of the body to shell.

Methods

o Append

public virtual Append( const iOpening)

Sets a list of faces with null internal and external offset values.
Very useful to define openings in the resulting body.

Parameters:

iOpening: The list of openings.

o Append

public virtual Append(	const	`iSpecialOffset`,
		`iInternalSpecialOffset`,
		`iExternalSpecialOffset`)

Modifies the offset values for a list of faces of the body to shell.

Parameters:

iSpecialOffset: A list of faces.
iInternalSpecialOffset: The list of the corresponding internal offsets.
iExternalSpecialOffset: The list of the corresponding external offsets.
