MachiningOperationUseItf Interface DELIMfgMultiAxisIsoparametricMachining

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

interface DELIMfgMultiAxisIsoparametricMachining

Interface for multi axis isoparametric machining operations.

Method Index

o GetGeometricBeltsNumber(int&): Retrieves the number of belts from part elements.
o RemovePartsGeometries(): Removes all part elements from the operation.
o SetPartsGeometries(CATBaseUnknown_var&,CATBaseUnknown_var&,int): Adds part geometry to the operation.
o SetPartsOrientation(int,CATOrientation): Modifies the orientation of the part with regards to its geometry.

Methods

o GetGeometricBeltsNumber

public virtual GetGeometricBeltsNumber( oNumberOfBelts)

Retrieves the number of belts from part elements.

Parameters:

oNumberOfBelts: The number of belts.

Returns:

S_OK: if the method succeeds

o RemovePartsGeometries

public virtual RemovePartsGeometries(

)

Removes all part elements from the operation.

Returns:

S_OK: if the method succeeds

o SetPartsGeometries

public virtual SetPartsGeometries(	const	`iReference`,
	const	`iProduct`,
	const	`iPosition`	`=0`)

Adds part geometry to the operation.
Part faces must be sorted from the first to machine to the last one.
Parts must be defined inside a belt without forks.

Parameters:

iReference: The geometric element to set.
iProduct: The associated product of the referenced geometry.
iPosition: The position where to set the geometry in the geometry list (optional). If not set, iReference is added at the end of the list.

Returns:

S_OK: if the method succeeds
E_FAIL: if iReference is not valid

o SetPartsOrientation

public virtual SetPartsOrientation(	const	`iBelt`,
		`iNewOrientation`)

Modifies the orientation of the part with regards to its geometry.
The system will automatically initialize the 'Side to mill' arrow based on orientation stored on first Face provided as Part element. This orientation stored on CATCell itself is naturally defined outer the material in case of solid faces but stays unpredictable in case of wireframe surfaces.

Parameters:

iNewOrientation: The new relative orientation.

Returns:

S_OK: if the method succeeds
