`GeometryImportPreferences`#

class ansys.mechanical.stubs.v261.Ansys.ACT.Mechanical.Utilities.GeometryImportPreferences#

Bases: object

This is used to provide import and reload (refresh) preferences for geometry file import. These preferences are identical to those exposed in the WB2 project schematic and Mechanical Geometry preferences. More information can be found in the “Geometry Preferences” section of the “CAD Integration” documentation. Both general and advanced preferences are provided.

Default values will be taken from the Mechanical preferences. This allows user-specified default values to propagate to these preferences.

Property detail#

property GeometryImportPreferences.AnalysisType: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.AnalysisType | None#: Specify the analysis type to target during import.

property GeometryImportPreferences.AttributeKey: str | None#: If ProcessAttributes is true, import only those attributes with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified. An empty string matches everything.

property GeometryImportPreferences.CADAssociativity: bool | None#: Allow associativity.

property GeometryImportPreferences.Clean: bool | None#: Clean unwanted features when importing geometry.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ComparePartsOnUpdate: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.ComparePartsOnUpdate | None#: Enable mesh preservation on refresh for unmodified entities.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ComparePartsTolerance: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.ComparePartsTolerance | None#: Specifies the tolerance to use when comparing parts.

property GeometryImportPreferences.CoordinateSystemKey: str | None#: If ProcessCoordinateSystems is true, import only those coordinate systems with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified. An empty string matches everything.

property GeometryImportPreferences.DecomposeDisjointGeometry: bool | None#

Enable the decomposition of disjoint geometries for the following associative geometry interfaces:

Creo Parametric (faces only)

Autodesk Inventor (bodies only)

property GeometryImportPreferences.DoSmartUpdate: bool | None#: Speed up refreshes for models with unmodified components. Causes changes to other import preferences to be ignored during refresh.

property GeometryImportPreferences.EnclosureSymmetryProcessing: bool | None#: Enable the processing of enclosure and symmetry named selections.

property GeometryImportPreferences.FacetQuality: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.FacetQuality | None#: Specifies what facet quality should be used for the import. The default value is Source meaning that the facets as represented in the CAD system or use a Normal option for those that do not have display. The others are relative settings compared to “normal” facet quality. Typically, better facet quality requires more memory and may take additional time to import/update.

property GeometryImportPreferences.MixedImportResolution: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.MixedImportResolution | None#: Allows mixed-dimension parts to be imported as assembly components with parts of different dimensions.

property GeometryImportPreferences.NamedSelectionKey: str | None#: If ProcessNamedSelections is true, import only those named selections with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ParameterKey: str | None#: If ProcessParameters is not None, this specifies the prefix or postfix filtering that will be used to identify enabled Workbench parameters. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessAttributes: bool | None#: Import CAD system attributes.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessCoordinateSystems: bool | None#: Import coordinate systems defined in the CAD source.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessInstances: bool | None#: Honor part instance specifications.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessLines: bool | None#: Import lines bodies.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessMaterialProperties: bool | None#: Import primary material data defined in the CAD source.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessNamedSelections: bool | None#: Import/create named selections.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessParameters: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.Parameters | None#: Enum to specify how parameters should be processed.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessSolids: bool | None#: Import solid bodies.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessSurfaces: bool | None#: Import surface bodies.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ProcessWorkPoints: bool | None#: Import work points.

property GeometryImportPreferences.ReaderSaveFile: bool | None#: Save the part file of a model after the import.

property GeometryImportPreferences.StitchTolerance: float | None#: If StitchType is User, specifies the tolerance to use for stitching detection.

property GeometryImportPreferences.StitchType: Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.StitchSurfacesOnImport | None#: Specifies how surfaces should be stitched together.
