points

List of points that defines the container type.

(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,…..xn,yn,zn)

iContainerType

0 - Box (Axis Aligned Box)

1 - Sphere

2 - Cylinder.

pxGetNodesContained

Gets the list of node IDs contained in the container defined by user.

Container types are box, sphere and cylinder.

List<size_t> pxGetNodesContained(String sModel, List<String> sPartsList, List<float> points, int iContainerType)

return

Returns list of node IDs if succeeds.

Returns an empty array otherwise.

sModel

CAE Model Name

sPartsList

Parts list from the nodeIDs to be returned. If parts List is is an empty aray it returns node is across all parts that is contained by the container type.

points

List of points that defines the container type.

(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,…..xn,yn,zn)

iContainerType

0 - Box (Axis Aligned Box)

1 - Sphere

2 - Cylinder.

Note:1

Box - 6 values
p1 - first 3 values
p2 - second 3 values
p1 and p2 defines the extreme points of the axis aligned bounding box.

Box - 4 values
center - first three values.
offset - last value;
p1 = center - offset
p2 = center + offset

Sphere - 4 values
center - first 3 values
radius - last value

Sphere - 6 values
p1 - first 3 values
p2 - second 3 values;
center = mid point of p1p2

Cylinder - 7 values
p1 - first 3 values
p2 - second 3 values;
radius = last value;

Note:2
xDisplayContainer xClearAllContainers methods can be used to display given iContainerType with same values of points input.
