create_geometrical_selection_rule

Model.create_geometrical_selection_rule(name, geometrical_rule_type='geometry', id=None, use_defaults=True, in_plane_capture_tolerance=0.0, neg_capture_tolerance=0.0, pos_capture_tolerance=0.0, include_rule_type=True, geometry=None, use_projection_normal=False, projection_normal=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), element_sets=None)​

Create new geometrical selection rule.

  • Parameters:
    • name: Name of the rule.
    • geometrical_rule_type: Define whether the rule extent is defined by a geometry of element sets. Available options: geometry (default) or element_sets.
    • use_defaults: Whether to use the offset value of the CAD geometry.
    • in_plane_capture_tolerance: In-plane extend (extend) if CAD geometry is a surface.
    • neg_capture_tolerance: Offset in the negative direction if CAD geometry is a surface.
    • pos_capture_tolerance: Offset in the positive direction if CAD geometry is a surface.
    • include_rule_type: Whether the selection is inside or outside the CAD geometry.
    • geometry: CAD geometry used to determine the selection (only relevant for geometrical_rule_type=geometry).
    • use_projection_normal: Boolean on whether to use the projection normal.
    • projection_normal: Normal direction used to map elements on outlines/curves.
    • element_sets: Preselection of elements in the form of an element set where the rule is applied on (only relevant for geometrical_rule_type=element_sets).
  • Returns: The created rule.
