CADGeometry#

class ansys.acp.core.CADGeometry(*, name='CADGeometry', external_path='', scale_factor=1.0, use_default_precision=True, precision=0.001, use_default_offset=True, offset=0.0)#

Instantiate a CAD Geometry.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the CAD Geometry.
external_path (str) – Path to the CAD file.
scale_factor (float) – Scale factor applied to the CAD geometry.
use_default_precision (bool) – Whether to use the default precision value.
precision (float) – Precision of geometrical operations such as intersection points, thickness sampling, etc.
use_default_offset (bool) – Whether to use the default offset value.
offset (float) – Offset value used to analyze the surface’s coverage regarding the mesh.

Added in ACP server version 24.2.

Methods
