GMOperatorsInterfaces Interface CATICGMShellOperatorPlus

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


interface CATICGMShellOperatorPlus

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 thickness 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 CATICGMShellOperatorPlus::GetResult method. To use it:


Method Index


o AppendOpening(CATLISTP(CATFace)&)
Specifies the list of faces to be removed.
o AppendSpecialOffset(CATLISTP(CATFace)&,CATLength,CATLength)
Modifies the offset values for a list of faces of the body to shell.
o GetResult()
Returns the pointer to the resulting body.
o Run()
Runs the operator
o SetConstantThickness(CATBoolean)
Asks for a constant thickness for the resulting shell when one of the offset values is null.
o SetDeviationAllowed(CATLength)
Sets the deviation allowed by the user.
o SetDeviationMode(CATBoolean)
Sets the deviation mode.
o SetLocalRegularization(CATBoolean)
Requires a local smoothing of a face when this face cannot be offsetted as a whole.
o SetOffsetMixte(CATBoolean)
Sets the OffsetMixte options.

Methods


o AppendOpening
public virtual AppendOpening( const iOpenFaces)
Specifies the list of faces to be removed.
Parameters:
iOpenFaces
The list of faces
o AppendSpecialOffset
public virtual AppendSpecialOffset( const iSpecOffsetFaces,
iInternSpecialOffsetValue,
iExternSpecialOffsetValue)
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.
o GetResult
public virtual GetResult()
Returns the pointer to the resulting body.
Returns:
The pointer to the resulting body, NULL if the operation failed. If you do not want to keep the resulting body, use the method to remove it from the geometric factory, after the operator deletion.
o Run
public virtual Run()
Runs the operator
o SetConstantThickness
public virtual SetConstantThickness( iConstantThickness= TRUE)
Asks for a constant thickness for the resulting shell when one of the offset values is null. Applies only when the regularization is activated (SetOffsetMixte)
Parameters:
iConstantThickness
TRUE
Default mode: the smoothed/regularized face with null offset is keep in the resulting shell
FALSE
The input face with null offset is not modified.
o SetDeviationAllowed
public virtual SetDeviationAllowed( iDeviation)
Sets the deviation allowed by the user.
Parameters:
iDeviation
The value of the deviation. This value must be positive.
o SetDeviationMode
public virtual SetDeviationMode( iWithDeviation)
Sets the deviation mode.
Parameters:
iWithDeviation
TRUE
the regularizator uses the deviation value which is specified by the user.
FALSE
the regularizator does not use the user value (default value).
o SetLocalRegularization
public virtual SetLocalRegularization( iLocalRegul)
Requires a local smoothing of a face when this face cannot be offsetted as a whole. This option can result in additional faces. It can only be activated when the SetOffsetMixte method is used to ask for a surface "regularization".
Parameters:
iLocalRegul
TRUE
The local regularization is activated.
FALSE
The local regularization is not activated.
o SetOffsetMixte
public virtual SetOffsetMixte( iWithRegul)
Sets the OffsetMixte options.
Parameters:
iWithRegul
1
Regularization of "tricky faces" with diagnosis.
0
No regularization
