HybridShapeWrapCurve (Object)

Represents the hybrid shape wrap curve surface object.
Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape wrap curve surface object.

This data includes:

Two support surfaces, one at each limit of the wrap curve surface
Two curves, one for each support surface
The curve closing points

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeWrapCurve object.

Properties

o Property FirstCurvesConstraint(

) As

Returns or sets constraint at first curves of the WrapCurve.
Legal values: 1 = no constraint, 2 = Deformed surface will have the same tangency and the same curvature as the original surface at first curves.

Example:

This example retrieves in FirstCurvesConstraint the constraint at first curves of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 Dim FirstCurvesConstraint As long
 Set FirstCurvesConstraint = ShpWrapCurve.FirstCurvesConstraint

o Property LastCurvesConstraint(

) As

Returns or sets constraint at last curves of the WrapCurve.
Legal values: 1 = no constraint, 2 = Deformed surface will have the same tangency and the the same curvatureas the original surface at last curves.

Example:

This example retrieves in LastCurvesConstraint the constraint at last curves of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 Dim LastCurvesConstraint As long
 Set LastCurvesConstraint = ShpWrapCurve.LastCurvesConstraint

o Property Surface(

) As

Returns or sets the surface to deform of the WrapCurve.
Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Face.

Example:

This example retrieves in SurfaceToDeform the surface to deform of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 SurfaceToDeform = ShpWrapCurve.Surface

Methods

o Sub GetCurves(		`iPosition`,
		`oReferenceCurve`,
		`oTargetCurve`)

Returns a curve from the WrapCurve.

Parameters:

iPosition

The position of the curves in the list of curves.

oReferenceCurve

the reference curve.

oTargetCurve

the target curve.
Legal values: can be egal to Nothing. In this case, the associated ref curve will be fixed.

Example:

This example retrieves in WrapCurveRefCurve the first reference curve of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature and retrieves in WrapCurveTargCurve the first target curve of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 Dim WrapCurveRefCurve As Reference
 Dim WrapCurveTargCurve As Reference
 ShpWrapCurve.GetCurve(2)

o Func GetNumberOfCurves(

) As

Returns the number of couples of curves of the WrapCurve.

Returns:: The number of couples of curves
Legal values: positive or null.

Example:

This example retrieves in NumberOfCurves the number of couples of curves of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 NumberOfCurves = ShpWrapCurve.GetNumberOfCurves(2)

o Sub GetReferenceDirection(		`oDirectionType`,
		`oDirection`)

Gets the reference direction projection of the wrap curve feature.

Parameters:

oDirectionType

type of direction.
Legal values: 1 = reference direction is computed, and 2 = user direction.

oDirection

curve to be added as a direction, if oDirectionType = 2.

Example:

This example retrieves in RefDirection the reference direction of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature and in RefDirectionType the reference direction of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve

 Dim RefDirectionType As long 
 Dim RefDirection As CATIAHybridShapeDirection 
 ShpWrapCurve.SetReferenceDirection (RefDirectionType, RefDirection)

o Sub GetReferenceSpine(		`oSpineType`,
		`oSpine`)

Returns the reference spine of the wrap curve feature.

Parameters:

oSpineType: type of spine.
Legal values: 1 = Reference Spine is equal to the first reference curve, and 2 = user spine.
oSpine: curve to be added as a spine, if iSpineType = 2.

Example:

This example retrieves in RefSpine the reference spine of the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature and in RefSpineType the reference spine type.

 Dim RefSpineType As long 
 Dim RefSpine As Reference 
 ShpWrapCurve.GetReferenceSpine (RefSpineType, RefSpine)

o Sub InsertCurves(		`iPosition`,
		`iReferenceCurve`,
		`iTargetCurve`)

Inserts a couple of reference curve and target curve to the wrap curve.

Parameters:

Example:

This example sets the RefCurveForWrapCurve curve and the TargCurveForWrapCurve curve at the end of the list to the ShpWrapCurve hybrid shape WrapCurve feature.

 ShpWrapCurve.InsertCurves (0, RefCurveForWrapCurve, TargCurveForWrapCurve)
