Inspire python code strutLattice( trimmingBody= ) problem

EnesKurt

Hi there,

I have a problem with trimmingBody parameter of inspire python  method inspire.strutLattice(). While using the Impilicit Modeling -> Strut tool, I can trim my implicit part by selecting the trim part from the outerbody->shell->trimmingBody section. However when I use  inspire.strutLattice() method with shell=True parameter, shell work but trim don't work. 

Example:
implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,shell=True ,trimmingBody=XXXXX ,shellThicknessOut=0.0005)

What should XXXXX be here? How can I make my trim part in my model work here?

I have same problem with parameter combineBody.

Example:
implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,combine=True ,combineBody=XXXXX).

Hi Kurt,

the XXXXX should be the object you want to use as the trim/combine object with the lattice. For example:

cuboid = implicitPart.createCuboid()

implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,combine=True ,combineBody=cuboid)

If you need more info about how Trimming Body and Combine Body work in general here is a link:

Hope this helps.
