Vertices are point regions of geometry.

The following topics are discussed:

getEdges()

This method returns a sequence consisting of the edge ids of the edges which share this vertex.

Arguments

None.

Return value

A tuple of integers.

Exceptions

None.

getNodes()

This method returns an array of node objects that are associated with the vertex.

Arguments

None.

Return value

A MeshNodeArray object which is a sequence of MeshNode objects.

Exceptions

None.

getElements()

This method returns an array of element objects that are associated with the vertex.

Arguments

None.

Return value

A MeshElementArray object which is a sequence of MeshElement objects.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The Vertex object has the following members:

index: An Int specifying the index of the Vertex in the VertexArray.
isReferenceRep: A Boolean specifying whether the vertex belongs to the reference representation of the Part or Instance.
pointOn: A tuple of Floats specifying the X -, Y -, and Z -coordinates of the vertex.
featureName: A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the feature that created this vertex.
instanceName: A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the part instance for this vertex (if applicable).
