Include Files
Most FEA solvers allow you to organize the input deck into separate files and provide a mechanism to include (or refer) these files in the master input deck.
This capability is commonly known as "include" capability. HyperMesh allows you to import such models using three
options.
- Option
- Description
- preserve includes
- Preserves the data in individual include files along with their references in the master model. You can review the contents of individual include files via the Include Browser. When exporting, entities are written into the corresponding include files along with their references in the master file.
- skip includes
- The data in the include files is not imported into HyperMesh. The include references are maintained and are written out to the master model during export.
- merge includes
- The contents from the all include files are imported into the HyperMesh model but their references are not maintained. When exporting, all entities are written into the master file.
The Model Browser allows you to create, review, edit, organize
and update the contents of a model into various include files. Every entity in
HyperMesh belongs to either the master model or an
include file. Each include file has a name (title) and location (full or relative
path). An include file can be designated as the current include file. Any new
entities created or imported are placed in the current include file. You can create
a new include file, and drag and drop entities between various include files using
the Model Browser.
Note: Models that do not reference any include
files are placed entirely in the master model.
