The given points are first projected onto the source faces using the specified projection method. The points are then projected normal to the source faces onto the target faces. The user can specify the number of projections or the length of projection vector for projection onto the target faces. The lines are then created between the source face and the closest target face. Subsequent lines are created between the target faces. Notes ----- This function can be accessed by: .. code-block:: python mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.AttachmentLines Parameters ---------- name A String specifying a unique Feature name. points A tuple of points. Each point can be a ConstrainedSketchVertex, Datum point, Reference point, an Attachment point, orphan mesh Node, or an Interesting point object. sourceFaces A sequence of Face objects specifying the geometry faces onto which the points are to be projected. sourceElementFaces A sequence of MeshFace objects specifying the orphan mesh element faces onto which the points are to be projected. targetFaces A sequence of Face objects specifying the geometry faces on which the attachment lines will terminate. targetElementFaces A sequence of MeshFace objects specifying the orphan mesh element faces on which the attachment lines will terminate. projectionMethod A SymbolicConstant specifying the method to be used to project onto source faces. Possible values are PROJECT_BY_PROXIMITY and PROJECT_BY_DIRECTION. The default value is PROJECT_BY_PROXIMITY. projectionDirStartPt A point specifying the start point of the projection direction to project onto source faces. The point can be a ConstrainedSketchVertex, Datum point, Reference point, Attachment point, orphan mesh Node, Interesting Point object, or a tuple of Floats representing the coordinates of a point. projectionDirEndPt A point specifying the end point of the projection direction to project onto source faces. The point can be a ConstrainedSketchVertex, Datum point, Reference point, Attachment point, orphan mesh Node, Interesting point object, or a tuple of Floats representing the coordinates of a point. sourceToTargetProjMethod A SymbolicConstant specifying the method to be used to project onto target faces. Possible values are PROJECT_BY_NUMBER and PROJECT_BY_DISTANCE. The default value is PROJECT_BY_NUMBER. numProjections An integer specifying the maximum number of layers each point should be projected onto when the source to target projection method is PROJECT_BY_NUMBER. projectionDistance A float specifying the maximum distance of the projection vector when the source to target projection method is PROJECT_BY_DISTANCE. flipSourceToTargetDirection A Boolean specifying whether the computed projection direction from the source to the target faces should be flipped. setName A String specifying a unique set name. Returns ------- A Feature object. """ return Feature()
