Method Summary
`/optional/ WSurface`	`GetNextSurface ()` Returns the next surface in the surface list (or NULL, if there is no next surface). If the model geometry has changed, the next surface must be obtained again.
`SurfacePeriodicity`	`GetPeriodicity ()`
`Tessellation`	`GetTessellation (SurfaceTessellationInput Input)` Calculates the tessellation of a given surface

Method Detail

GetNextSurface

/*optional*/ WSurface GetNextSurface ()

Returns the next surface in the surface list (or NULL, if there is no next surface). If the model geometry has changed, the next surface must be obtained again.

Manual References:: Geometry Evaluation: Evaluation of Surfaces

Returns:: Handle to next surface WSurface

GetTessellation

Tessellation GetTessellation (SurfaceTessellationInput Input)

Calculates the tessellation of a given surface

Exceptions thrown (but not limited to):

XToolkitOutOfMemory - Creo Parametric could not allocate memory for the output.

XToolkitIncompleteTessellation - The tessellation was incomplete.
If incomplete tessellation is acceptable, set <reference 6 to unknown entity wfcWSession::SetIncompleteSurfaceTessellationAllowed> to true. The default value for this setting is false.

Manual References:: Geometry Evaluation: Surface Tessellation, Geometry Evaluation: Surface Tessellation

Parameters:

Input: Input instructions for the tessellation

Returns:: returns tessellation data Tessellation

GetPeriodicity

SurfacePeriodicity GetPeriodicity ()

Returns:
