Vista AFD Meanline

Vista AFD Meanline
This container holds Meanline data for an instance of Vista AFD.

Methods

Edit

This command class launches the Vista popup GUI.


GetVistaAFDMeanlineProperties

This query takes a container reference and returns the Data Entity which contains user settings and properties for the VistaAFD Meanline container.

Return     Reference to the requested Data Entity
    Type     DataReference

Import

This command imports Vista data into the Blade Design cell from an existing BladeGen file. If no appropriate Vista data is found in the specified BladeGen file, an error message is generated.

    template1 = GetTemplate(TemplateName="VistaCPD")
    system1 = template1.CreateSystem()
    bladeDesign1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Blade Design")
    bladeDesign1.Import(FilePath="myfilepath/pump.bgd")

Required Arguments

FileName    Name, and path, of the BladeGen file to be imported.
    Type    string
