`NamedSelection`#

Represents a single named selection within the design assembly.

This class synchronizes to a design within a supporting Geometry service instance.

A named selection organizes one or more design entities together for common actions against the entire group.

Parameters:

namestr: User-defined name for the named selection.
designDesign: Design instance to which the named selection belongs.
grpc_clientGrpcClient: Active supporting Geometry service instance for design modeling.
bodieslist[Body], default: None: All bodies to include in the named selection.
faceslist[Face], default: None: All faces to include in the named selection.
edgeslist[Edge], default: None: All edges to include in the named selection.
beamslist[Beam], default: None: All beams to include in the named selection.
design_pointslist[DesignPoints], default: None: All design points to include in the named selection.
components: list[Component], default: None: All components to include in the named selection.
vertices: list[Vertex], default: None: All vertices to include in the named selection.

Overview#

Methods

`add_members`	Add members to the named selection.
`remove_members`	Remove members from the named selection.

Properties

`id`	ID of the named selection.
`name`	Name of the named selection.
`bodies`	All bodies in the named selection.
`faces`	All faces in the named selection.
`edges`	All edges in the named selection.
`beams`	All beams in the named selection.
`design_points`	All design points in the named selection.
`components`	All components in the named selection.
`vertices`	All vertices in the named selection.

Special methods

Represent the NamedSelection as a string.

from ansys.geometry.core.designer.selection import NamedSelection

property NamedSelection.bodies: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.body.Body]#: All bodies in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.faces: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.face.Face]#: All faces in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.edges: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.edge.Edge]#: All edges in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.beams: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.beam.Beam]#: All beams in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.design_points: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.designpoint.DesignPoint]#: All design points in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.components: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component]#: All components in the named selection.

property NamedSelection.vertices: list[ansys.geometry.core.designer.vertex.Vertex]#: All vertices in the named selection.

Add members to the named selection.

Parameters:

Returns:

NamedSelection: The new named selection with the added members. Changes are also reflected on the same named selection upon which the method is called.

Notes

Named selections are immutable. This method creates a new named selection with the added members.

Remove members from the named selection.

Parameters:

memberslist of Body, Face, Edge, Beam, DesignPoint, Component, or Vertex: The members to remove from the named selection.

Returns:

NamedSelection: The new named selection with the members removed. Changes are also reflected on the same named selection upon which the method is called.
