Connectors Outside of Components
Historically, connector entities have been contained in components since their first inception. As we move to a more modular architecture, we wanted to eliminate this occasionally problematic relationship. While elements created during a connector realization are still contained in components, connector entities are no longer be contained within components.
- Deleting components no longer deletes connectors
- Connectors now have their own active/inactive state that is independent from the component active/inactive state. This helps facilitate easier configuration management.
- Connector realizations have no dependency on the connector’s component. It is clearer that the realization component organization is independent from the connector’s own organization.
- The connector organization is being made more flexible moving forward. For HyperMesh 2019, connectors can be uncontained, or can exclusively be contained in new connector groups. Connector sets are also planned for the future, to offer other ways for non-exclusive collections of connectors. These new connector collection paradigms will help to more easily relate connectors to includes, and to subsystems.
We are aware that some use cases (and user scripts) may depend upon the old logic that collected connectors in components. We understand these use cases to primarily focus on grouping connectors into different exclusive buckets (for other intended processing). To aid users in the transition away from this old relationship, we have created a new connector group entity. Every connector can OPTIONALLY belong to at most one connector group.
- During .hm file read a connector group is automatically created for each component that contains connector entities in the file. When possible the new connector group is given the same name and ID as the component that previously owned the connector entity. If the name/ID is not available, standard conflict resolution rules are used. The connector entity is then moved to the newly created connector group. Realization entities (such as elements) are not moved from their pre-existing components.
- Having connectors contained in a connector group is entirely optional. For this reason, there is no concept of a current connector group. Pre-existing customization code flows that depended upon the current component to collect newly created connectors may need to be reworked. Updated code could manually create a connector group, and manually move the newly created connectors to this group. Alternatively, connector marks, Tcl lists, or Tcl arrays could be employed to capture the list of connectors the script wishes to process.
- The following APIs will scan through the connector groups as the connector collector
(regardless if you use the "by collector" or "by comp*" arguments). In all the below API
examples, "ce" is short for "connector entity". A "ce_group" denotes a "connector entity
group".
