Method detail

AMSupportRemovalSequence.Add(item: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep)

Adds a support or base removal step.
Throws a notSupportedException if the same step was already added.
Usage:
 removalSequence.Add(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval())
 removalSequence.Add(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj))

AMSupportRemovalSequence.Contains(item: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep)

Returns true if the step exists in the sequencer. If not, returns false
Usage:
    index1 = removalSequence.Contains(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.Contains(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));

AMSupportRemovalSequence.IndexOf(item: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep)

Returns index of removal object
Returns -1 if removal object not found
Usage:
C#
    index1 = removalSequence.IndexOf(new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.IndexOf(new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));
Python
    index1 = removalSequence.IndexOf(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.IndexOf(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));

AMSupportRemovalSequence.Insert(index: int, item: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep)

Inserts a given step at particular index(zero based)
Throws an IndexOutOfRangeException if the step is being inserted out of range.
Throws a NotSupportedException if the insertion is invalid
Usage:
 Sequence.Insert(0,Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.UserStep())

AMSupportRemovalSequence.RemoveAt(index: int)

Remove AM step at index.
Throws IndexOutOfRangeException if index is out of range
Usage:
 removalSequence.RemoveAt(0)

AMSupportRemovalSequence.Swap(item1: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep, item2: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep)

Swaps two steps in the Removal sequence.
Returns true if successful and false if unsuccessful
Usage:
C#
 removalSequence.Swap(
    new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval(),
    new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));
Python
 removalSequence.Swap(
    Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval(),
    Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj))
