创建立方体并设置参数 box App.ActiveDocument.addObject(Part::Box, 参数化立方体) box.Length 50 # 长度参数 box.Width 30 # 宽度参数 box.Height 20 # 高度参数 # 动态修改参数 box.Length 60 # 实时更新模型 App.ActiveDocument.recompute()这种参数化特性使得设计变更变得异常简单只需修改几个参数值整个模型就会自动更新。Python API架构解析FreeCAD Python API采用分层架构设计层级功能模块主要类/函数应用场景应用层App模块Document, DocumentObject文档管理、对象创建几何层Part模块Shape, Face, Edge, Vertex基础几何操作设计层PartDesign模块Body, Sketch, Feature参数化零件设计绘图层Draft模块make_line, make_circle2D绘图与标注分析层FEM模块Analysis, Material, Constraint有限元分析可视化层Gui模块ViewProvider, Selection界面交互与显示核心优势对比为了更直观地展示Python API的优势让我们与传统建模方式对比特性传统交互式建模Python API建模重复性任务手动重复操作自动化脚本执行设计变更逐个修改特征批量参数更新复杂逻辑难以实现程序化控制数据集成手动导入导出自动数据对接版本控制文件级管理代码级管理错误排查可视化检查代码调试跟踪进阶技巧高效利用Python API1. 对象遍历与批量操作高效处理复杂装配体的关键在于掌握对象遍历技巧import FreeCAD as App def analyze_assembly(doc): 分析装配体结构并统计信息 assembly_info { total_parts: 0, by_type: {}, volumes: [], materials: set() } #
