Method Summary
Creates a material of the specified name (with default values) in the part. | |
void | |
The part material | |
Locates a material by name. | |
Lists the materials that exist in the part. | |
Reads the named material properties from file and adds (or updates) the specified material name to the part's database. | |
Method Detail
GetCurrentMaterial | () | |
void | SetCurrentMaterial |
The part material
By default, assigning a material to a sheetmetal part through pfcPart::SetCurrentMaterial(cipOptional 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".

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
GetMaterial |
Locates a material by name.
The material must be stored in the part and not stored in an external file.

Parameters:
Name
The name of the material to find.
Returns:
The material object, or null, if the material was not found.
