Shell

Represents the shell shape.

A shell shape is made up of a list of faces to process and two thickness

parameters.

add_face_to_remove(i_face_to_remove: Reference) → None

Note

o Sub AddFaceToRemove(Reference iFaceToRemove)

Adds a new face to those to be removed by the shell

process.

Parameters:

iFaceToRemove

The face to be removed

The following

Boundary object is supported: Face.

Example:

The following example adds the new face face to be removed in the shell

firstShell:

call firstShell.AddFaceToRemove(face)

Parameters:

i_face_to_remove (Reference) –

Return type:
