Parameters

FaceList

Array containing the faces for deletion

HealAction

Healing action as defined in swHealActionType_e (see Remarks)

LoopProcessOption

Loop processing as defined in swLoopProcessOption_e (see Remarks)

DoLocalCheck

True checks the bodies during the operation and sets the return value to indicate whether the resultant body is valid, false does not

BodyList

Array of temporary bodies

LocalCheckResult

True if body is valid, false if not; to obtain this value, you must pass true for the DoLocalCheck argument

Return Value

When faces are deleted, wounds are created on those faces that require healing. Healing can be accomplished by extending neighboring faces, shrinking the deleted faces, or covering the wounds. The value that you specify for HealAction determines how wounds are healed.

When a wound has multiple loops, you can tell SOLIDWORKS how to process the loops individually or together, or you can let SOLIDWORKS decide how to process the loops. The value you specify for LoopProcessAction determines how to process multiple loops.

For example, consider a cube with a through hole made up of four faces (a square hole). To delete these four faces, specify swHealAction_Shrink for HealAction and swLoopProcess_Together for LoopProcessAction because the loop on the first face to be deleted is dependent on the loop of the second face to be deleted. Likewise, the loop on the second face to be deleted is dependent on the third face to be deleted, and so on.

Now consider the same cube with a through hole, except this through hole is a simple cylinder (one face). To delete the cylindrical face, specify swHealActionShrink_e for HealAction and swLoopProcess_Independent for LoopProcessAction to heal the loops independently. This is necessary because the cylindrical face actually has two loops (one at either end of the cylinder) that need to be healed separately.

It is possible to generate invalid geometry when you use this method because checking is disabled. Call IBody2::Check3 to verify that the body is a valid solid after using this method.
