Methods


o Sub AddSupportForBody( iProduct,
iBody)
Adds the specified body as a support.
Parameters:
iProduct
The CATIAProduct specifying the positioning object.
iBody
The CATIABody to serve as the support.
Refer: CATIABody , CATIAProduct
o Sub AddSupportFromProduct( iProduct,
iSupport)
Adds the specified product reference as a support. If the support already exists then it is removed.
Parameters:
iProduct
The CATIAProduct specifying the positioning object.
iSupport
The CATIAReference to serve as the support.
o Sub AddSupportFromPublication( iProduct,
iPublication)
Adds a support from the publication. If the support already exists, it is removed.
Parameters:
iProduct
The CATIA Product specifying the object to which the mass scaling is applied.
iPublication
The CATIA Publication specifying the region to which the mass scaling is applied.

Refer: CATIAPublication
o Sub ClearSupports()
Clear the list of supports.
o Sub GetSupports( oProducts,
oSupports)
Gets the supports that define the mass scaling region(s).
Parameters:
oProducts
Returned safe array of products for the supports, as CATIAReferences. This array has a one-to-one mapping with the supports array.
oSupports
Returned safe array of supports, as CATIAReferences. This array has a one-to-one mapping with the products array.
o Sub SetSupports( iProducts,
iSupports)
Sets the supports that define the mass scaling region(s). Any previously set support regions will be replaced with this new list. The list must contain at least one item.
Parameters:
iProducts
Safe array of products for the supports as CATIAReferences. This array has a one-to-one mapping with the supports array.
iSupports
Safe array of supports as CATIAReferences. This array has a one-to-one mapping with the products array.
