Thickness

The Thickness class is used to manage and synchronize thickness data with MIDAS Civil NX.

Constructor

Thickness(thick=0.0,thick_out=-1,offset=0,off_type='rat',name="",id=0)

Creates thickness with specified parameters.

Parameters

  • thick (float): Thickness value
  • thick_out (float): Optional Out-of plane thickness value. If set to -1, it will default to the input thickness.
  • offset (float): Offset value.
  • off_type (str): Type of offset. 'rat' for ratio, 'val' for value.
  • name (str): Optional name of the Thickness.
  • id (int): Thickness ID

Class Attributes

Thickness.thick -> List of all thickness defined.

Object Attributes

  • ID (int): Thickness ID.
  • NAME (str): Thickness name.
  • TYPE (str): Default: "VALUE".
  • T_IN (float): In Plane thickness.
  • T_OUT (float): Out-of Plane thickness.
  • bINOUT (bool): True if T_IN and T_OUT differ; False if same.
  • OFFSET(float): Offset amount.
  • OFF_TYPE (int): Offset type code (0: none, 1: ratio, 2: absolute).

Methods

create

Create all thickness section in Civil NX . 

Thickness.create()

json

Returns a JSON representation of all Thickness defined in python.

print(Thickness.json())

# Output:

get

Fetches thickness from Civil NX and returns the JSON representation.

print(Thickness.get())
# Output

sync

Retrieves Thickness data from Civil NX and rebuilds the internal thickness list.

Thickness.sync()
for thick in Thickness.thick:
    print(f'ID: {thick.ID} | Thickness: {thick.T_IN}')

delete

Deletes all Thickness data from both Python and Civil NX.

Thickness.delete()

Examples

# Rectangular Section Example
for i in range(5):
    Thickness(i+0.1)
