This node allows you to use NX files (.prt) within an optiSLang workflow. Open a file in the node and the parameters and results are displayed in the editor.
Parameters and Responses
The integration opens the model and scans the model parameters. Each changeable object is listed as an available parameter in the integration dialog box. All unchangeable objects are listed as available responses. Parameters and responses can be registered using drag-and-drop.
The optiSLang setting Customization:Customized integrations use tree view controls whether the parameters and responses are presented as a list or a tree structure. To use the setting, from the menu bar select > . After changing the setting, restart optiSLang.
The following types are supported:
| NX Expression | Example | optiSLang Parameter | Example | optiSLang Response | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boolean | my_exp = true | BOOL | my_exp = true | BOOL | my_exp = true |
| String | my_exp = "test" | STRING | my_exp = "test" | - | - |
| Number | my_exp = 1.5 | REAL | my_exp = 1.5 | REAL | my_exp = 1.5 |
| Integer | my_exp = 1 | INTEGER | my_exp = 1 | INTEGER | my_exp = 1 |
| Point | my_exp = Point(1, 2, 3) | REAL |
my_exp.X = 1 my_exp.Y = 2 my_exp.Z = 3 | REAL |
my_exp.X = 1 my_exp.Y = 2 my_exp.Z = 3 |
| Vector | my_exp = Vector(1, 2, 3) | REAL |
my_exp.X = 1 my_exp.Y = 2 my_exp.Z = 3 | REAL |
my_exp.X = 1 my_exp.Y = 2 my_exp.Z = 3 |
| List | my_exp = [1, 2, 3] | REAL |
my_exp[0] = 1 my_exp[1] = 2 my_exp[2] = 3 | VECTOR | my_exp = [1, 2, 3] |
