Method Detail

optional pfcMaterial_ptrGetCurrentMaterial ()
voidSetCurrentMaterial (optional pfcMaterial_ptr value)

The part material

By default, assigning a material to a sheetmetal part through pfcPart::SetCurrentMaterial(optional pfcMaterial_ptr) modifies the values of the sheetmetal properties such as Y factor and/or bend table as per the material file definition. This triggers a regeneration and a modification of the developed length calculations of the sheetmetal part. However, you can avoid this behavior by setting the value of the config option "material_update_smt_bend_table" to "never_replace".

pfcMaterials_ptrListMaterials ()

Lists the materials that exist in the part.
Manual References:
Solid: Materials, Solid: Materials
Returns:
The list of materials


pfcMaterial_ptrCreateMaterial (xrstring Name)

Creates a material of the specified name (with default values) in the part.

Exceptions thrown (but not limited to):

pfcXToolkitFound - The material name already exists.


Manual References:
Solid: Materials, Solid: Materials
Parameters:
Name
The material name
Returns:
The new material


pfcMaterial_ptrRetrieveMaterial (xrstring FileName)

Reads the named material properties from file and adds (or updates) the specified material name to the part's database.

Exceptions thrown (but not limited to):

pfcXToolkitInvalidType - The model handle you passed to the function is not a part.

pfcXToolkitNotFound - The specifed file was not found on the drive.


Manual References:
Solid: Materials, Solid: Materials
Parameters:
FileName
The name of the material file. The method will look for'matl_name'.mtl (a modern material file) first, and then 'matl_name'.mat.
Returns:
The material properties


optional pfcMaterial_ptrGetMaterial (xrstring Name)

Locates a material by name.

The material must be stored in the part and not stored in an external file.
See Also:
pfcPart::RetrieveMaterial(xrstring), pfcPart::ListMaterials()
Parameters:
Name
The name of the material to find.
Returns:
The material object, or null, if the material was not found.
