Method detail

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.Activate() → None

Activate the current object.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.CopyTo(other: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.DataModelObject) → None

Copies all visible properties from this object to another.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.CreateParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter

Creates a new parameter for a Property.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.Delete() → None

Run the Delete action.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.Duplicate() → Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Interfaces.IDataModelObject

Creates a copy of the current DataModelObject.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.GetChildren(recurses: bool, children: List[ChildrenType]) → List[ChildrenType]

Gets the list of children, filtered by type.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.GetParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter

Gets the parameter corresponding to the given property.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.GroupAllSimilarChildren() → None

Run the GroupAllSimilarChildren action.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.GroupSimilarObjects() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.TreeGroupingFolder

Run the GroupSimilarObjects action.

SymmetryManufacturingConstraint.PropertyByAPIName(name: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Property

Get a property by its API name.
If multiple properties have the same API Name, only the first property with that name will be returned.
