cad2h3d
Translates any HyperMesh supported CAD file into an H3D (.h3d) file.
Syntax
cad2h3d cad_source_file h3d_target_file visualization_only ?cad_translator?
Application
Translator
Description
The tool is available from the <altair_home>/hm/bin/<platform> directory.
Inputs
- cad_source_file
- The name and path of the CAD file to translate. This can be any HyperMesh supported CAD file.
- h3d_target_file
- The name and path of the H3D file to write.
- visualization_only
- An option that specifies whether the H3D is for visualization only.
- If set to 1, this enables the @ImportForVisualizationOnly option for the CAD readers, which skip performing certain import and cleanup steps to get a model for visualization quality, but not analysis quality.
- If set to 0, the normal CAD import process is used.
- cad_translator
- An optional argument that specifies which CAD translator to use. By default, the "#Detect" translator is used to automatically determine the CAD reader to use. However, for cases where that fails, specifying the required translator is necessary.
