Using ACT, how can I create a spring between two remote points?

Pernelle Marone-Hitz

Let's assume two remote points have already been created through:

    MyRemotePoint1=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddRemotePoint()
    MyRemotePoint2=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddRemotePoint()

and that appropriate scoping a position of the remote points is defined.

A spring can be inserted through:

    Connections=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Connections              
    NewSpring=Connections.AddSpring()

The stiffness can be defined by:

    NewSpring.LongitudinalStiffness=Quantity('10 [N mm^-1]')

The scoping method can be changed with the following commands:

    NewSpring.InternalObject.MobileGeometryDefineBy = GeometryDefineByType.RemotePoint
    NewSpring.InternalObject.ReferenceGeometryDefineBy = GeometryDefineByType.RemotePoint

The appropriate remote points can be scoped through:

    NewSpring.InternalObject.MobileRemotePointSelection = MyRemotePoint1.Id
    NewSpring.InternalObject.ReferenceRemotePointSelection = MyRemotePoint2.Id
