ComponentInput Class

The ComponentInput class handles the input of component objects and positions. A component has one component input. The component input must include all the needed input objects and points in the correct order. For example, an input with a point and a part is different from an input of a part and a point. The maximum number of different input items in the collection is 10.

Examples

The following example creates a component with a given component input:

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Model;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;
using System;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           Beam Beam = new Beam(new Point(12000, 0, 0), new Point(12000, 0, 6000));
           Beam.Profile.ProfileString = "380*380";
           Beam.Material.MaterialString = "K40-1";
           Beam.Insert();

           Component Component = new Component();
           Component.Name = "Component Test";
           Component.Number = 30000063;

           ComponentInput ComponentInput = new ComponentInput();
           ComponentInput.AddInputObject(Beam);

           Component.SetComponentInput(ComponentInput);

           Component.LoadAttributesFromFile("standard");

           Component.SetAttribute("side_bar_space", 333.0);

           if (!Component.Insert())
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Component Insert failed");
           }
       }
}
