Some geometric entities are linked together so that they remain rigidly connected.

This connection information can be retrieved using the following functions. For more information, see Rigid Links section in the programming guide.

A3DStatus A3DAsmGetFixedComponents(const A3DAsmProductOccurrence *pOwnerNode, A3DUns32 *puiNumberOfFixedSubNodes, A3DAsmProductOccurrence ***pppFixedSubNodes)

Builds a list of the components which are rigidly connected to an owner.

Parameters:	pOwnerNode – The base Product Occurrence the resulting list in built on. puiNumberOfFixedSubNodes – The size `pppFixedSubNodes` pppFixedSubNodes – The resulting array.
Return values:	A3D_INVALID_DATA_STRUCT_SIZE – A3D_INVALID_DATA_STRUCT_NULL – A3D_SUCCESS –
Returns:	`A3D_SUCCESS` on success, or an error code on failure

A3DStatus A3DAsmGetFixedTogetherComponents(const A3DAsmProductOccurrence *pOwnerNode, A3DUns32 *ppuiSizeCount, A3DUns32 **ppuiSizeArray, A3DAsmProductOccurrence ***pppFixedTogetherNodes)

Given a base product occurrence, builds a set of arrays of rigidly linked together entities.

Parameters:	pOwnerNode – The base Product Occurrence the resulting list in built on. ppuiSizeCount – The size of `ppuiSizeArray` and `pppFixedTogetherNodes` ppuiSizeArray – The size of each element of `pppFixedTogetherNodes` pppFixedTogetherNodes – An array of arrays. Each internal array is a group of components linked together.
Return values:	A3D_INVALID_DATA_STRUCT_SIZE – A3D_INVALID_DATA_STRUCT_NULL – A3D_SUCCESS –
Returns:	`A3D_SUCCESS` on success, or an error code on failure

A3DStatus A3DAsmGetFlexibleComponents(const A3DAsmProductOccurrence *pOwnerNode, A3DUns32 *puiNumberOfFlexibleSubNodes, A3DAsmProductOccurrence ***pppFlexibleSubNodes)

Given a base product occurrence, builds an array of flexible subnodes.
