Skeleton Models
Skeleton models are a 3-dimensional layout of the assembly. These models are holders or distributors of critical design information, and can represent space requirements, important mounting locations, and motion.
Methods and Properties Introduced:
The method
IpfcAssembly.AssembleSkeleton() adds an existing skeleton model to the specified assembly.
The method
IpfcAssembly.GetSkeleton() returns the skeleton model of the specified assembly.
The method
IpfcAssembly.DeleteSkeleton() deletes a skeleton model component from the specified assembly.
The method
IpfcAssembly.AssembleSkeletonByCopy() adds a specified skeleton model to the assembly. The input parameters for this method are:
• SkeletonToCopy—Specify the skeleton model to be copied into the assembly
• NewSkeletonName—Specify a name for the copied skeleton model
The property
IpfcSolid.IsSkeleton determines if the specified part model is a skeleton model or a concept model. It returns a true if the model is a skeleton else it returns a false.
