Parameters

BOffset
True to offset the gusset section plane from the selected reference point in ArrayRefPoints, false to not
DOffset
Value by which to offset the gusset section plane from the selected reference point in ArrayRefPoints; valid only if BOffset is true
BFlipOffsetSide
True to specify the gusset section plane offset on the opposite side of the selected reference point, false to not; valid only if BOffset is true
ProfDimType

Type of gusset profile dimensioning scheme as defined in swSheetMetalGussetProfileDimType_e 

(see Remarks)

DIndentDepth
Gusset indent depth; valid only if ProfDimType = 0
DLength
d1 gusset leg length; length of sheet metal from bend to intersection with first end of gusset; valid only if ProfDimType = 1 (see Remarks)
BUseAngle
True to dimension the angle that is formed by the intersection of the gusset with either face adjacent to the bend; valid only if ProfDimType = 1 (see Remarks)
DHeight
d2 gusset leg length; length of sheet metal from bend to intersection with second end of gusset; valid only if ProfDimType = 1 (see Remarks)
DAngle
Angle formed by intersection of gusset with one face adjacent to the bend; valid only if ProfDimType = 1 and BUseAngle is true (see Remarks)
BFlipSides
True to swap d1 and d2 legs in the dimensioning scheme, false to not; valid only if ProfDimType = 1 (see Remarks)
DWidth
Gusset width
DThickness
Gusset thickness
BDraft
True to draft gusset side faces, false to not
DDraftAngle
Angle by which to draft the gusset side faces; valid only if BDraft is true 
BInnerCornerFillet
True to fillet the gusset inner corners, false to not
DInnerCornerFilletRadius
Inner corner fillet radius; valid only if BInnerCornerFillet is true
BOuterCornerFillet
True to fillet the gusset outer corners, false to not
DOuterCornerFilletRadius
Outer corner fillet radius; valid only if BOuterCornerFilletRadius is true
GussetType

Type of gusset as defined in swSheetMetalRibGussetType_e

BEdgeFillet
True to fillet the edges of a flat back gusset, false to not; valid only if GussetType is flat
DEdgeFilletRadius
Edge fillet radius for the flat back gusset; valid only if BEdgeFillet is true and GussetType is flat
ArrayOfFaces

Array containing one or two IFace2s that are the legs of the gusset feature:

  • Two flat faces adjacent to a bend
  • Two flat faces adjacent to a circular bend
  • One cylindrical bend face
  • One flat face and one non-planar face adjacent to a toroidal bend
  • One toroidal bend face

(see Remarks)

ArrayRefLines

Array containing one of the following entities that is perpendicular to the gusset section plane: 

(see Remarks)

ArrayRefPoints

Array containing one of the following to position the gusset section plane: 

(see Remarks)

Return Value

IFeature

Example

Remarks

If you pass an empty array to... Then...
ArrayRefLines This method assumes the reference line is the bend line adjacent to the entities in ArrayOfFaces.
ArrayRefPoints

You must set BOffset to true and specify DOffset for an assumed reference point.

For insertion of the first gusset, the assumed reference point is on the end of the sheet metal bend. For second and subsequent gusset insertions, the assumed reference point is on the edge of the gusset last inserted. 

Instead of calling this method, you can call IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to pre-select the references before calling IFeatureManager::InsertSheetMetalGussetFeature.

If ProfDimType = 1, to dimension the gusset profile using... Specify...
Both faces of the bend
  • DLength of d1 leg
  • DHeight of d2 leg
  • BUseAngle = false
  • BFlipSides = true to swap d1 and d2 legs during dimensioning
One bend face and the angle it forms with the gusset
  • DLength of d1 leg
  • DAngle of angle formed by gusset intersecting d1 leg  
  • BUseAngle = true
  • BFlipSides = true to swap d1 and d2 legs during dimensioning
Opposite bend face and the angle it forms with the gusset
  • DHeight of d2 leg
  • DAngle of angle formed by gusset intersecting d2 leg  
  • BUseAngle = true
  • BFlipSides = true to swap d1 and d2 legs during dimensioning
