@AllowDisjointShells
Value | Description |
---|---|
on | Store non-manifold geometry in one disjoint feature. |
off | Split and store non-manifold geometries as separate joint shell features (default). |
@AssemblyMode
Value | Description |
---|---|
Parts |
Create part entity hierarchy as assembly and part entity in Parasolid. |
Assemblies |
Create assembly and component entity as assembly and part entity in Parasolid. |
Flatten |
Write entities in all components into a single Parasolid part. |
@AttributeForMaterialName
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM
metadata-material name information associated with the part
entity. Meaningful only if Default is "Material". |
@AttributeForMeshFlag
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM metadata-mesh
flag information associated with the part entity. Meaningful
only if Default is "MeshFlag". |
@AttributeForMID
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM
metadata-material ID information associated with the part
entity. Meaningful only if Default is "MaterialId". |
@AttributeForPartNumber
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM metadata-part
number information associated with the part entity. Meaningful
only if Default is "PartNumber". |
@AttributeForPID
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM
metadata-property ID information associated with the part
entity. Meaningful only if Default is "PID". |
@AttributeForRevision
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM
metadata-revision information associated with the part entity.
Meaningful only if Default is "Revision". |
@AttributeForThickness
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains PDM
metadata-thickness information associated with the part entity.
Meaningful only if Default is "Thickness". |
@AttributeForUID
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Attribute created with the name contains the PDM metadata-UID
information associated with the part entity. Meaningful only
if Default is "UID". |
@Export
Value | Description |
---|---|
all |
Export all geometry (default). |
displayed |
Export displayed geometry only. |
@GeometryMode
Value | Description |
---|---|
Standard |
Write CAD geometry with standard types such as cylinder, cone, circle, and so on (default). |
BSpline |
Convert all surface geometry data into NURBS. This option may increase the output file size and be time consuming depending on the actual geometry. |
@HMOrignalIdAsAttribute
Value | Description |
---|---|
on |
Write HyperMesh entity Identifier as HM_ORIGINAL_ID attribute |
off |
Do not export HyperMesh entity Identifier (default). |
@MetadataPrefixFilter
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
The prefix to use to find metadata to export. Only metadata with the specified prefix is exported. Any metadata without this prefix is not exported. Default is empty, meaning all metadata will be exported. |
@NameFromRepresentation
Value | Description |
---|---|
on |
Assign part name in CAD file from the representation file
name attached to part entity. Meaningful only if
|
off |
Assign part name in CAD file from the part entity name in
HyperMesh. Meaningful only if
|
@OptimizeForCAD
Value | Description |
---|---|
on |
Fix gaps between stitched edges and vertices to make the actual geometry of the surfaces consistent with the model topology before export, and check the topology of the model for gaps that are larger than a given tolerance between shared, non-manifold, or suppressed edges. If the gap is found to be bigger than the tolerance, the surface and edge geometries are morphed parametrically and in 3D, if necessary, to make the gap smaller than the tolerance. In addition, non-essential degenerate edges are removed. This also modifies the geometry within HyperMesh (default). |
off |
Do not perform the optimization steps. |
@RemoveMetadataPrefix
Value | Description |
---|---|
on |
Remove the metadata prefix for export. Meaningful only if
|
off |
Do not remove the metadata prefix for export
(default). Meaningful only if
|
@SourceUnits
Value | Description |
---|---|
|
Unit system assigned to the data present in HyperMesh during export |
@TargetUnits
Value | Description |
---|---|
Meters |
Units system in the exported Parasolid file. Parasolid stores data in meters. |
@TopologyMode
Value | Description |
---|---|
Solid/Shell |
Export topology data similar to HyperMesh topology data, keeping the distinction between solids and shells (default). |
Surface |
Export each surface, including solid faces, as a single surface, effectively neglecting connectivity. |
@Version
Value | Description |
---|---|
string |
Parasolid version to use for export. Valid versions are 30.0 (default), 28.1, 28.0, 27.0, 26.1, 26.0, 25.1, 25.0, 24.0, 23.0, 22.0 or 21.0. |
@WriteColorFrom
