Type

HyperMesh Ext API Function

Description

This structure contains information that is used by the HM_ExtAPI::ImportModel() function to set import parameters.

In the function HM_ExtAPI::ImportModel() the pointer to HM_ImportModelParamStruct can be set to NULL. In this case default values of the import parameters are used as specified below.

The structure information is declared in hm_extapi.h.

The members are: size, import_tol, scale_factor, import_blanked, comps_by_layer

Inputs

size: Specifies the length, in bytes, of the structure. Use sizeof(HM_ImportModelParamStruct) for this member. This is used to distinguish the current version of HM_ImportModelParamStruct from possible future extended versions with additional members.
import_tol: Specifies model import tolerance. If the value of this parameter is less that zero then import tolerance is set automatically by HyperMesh (default behavior).
scale_factor: Specifies additional scaling of imported model. If the value of this parameter is less than zero then no scaling is applied (default behavior).
import_blanked: The flag that specifies whether components blanked in original CAD model are imported. This member can have one of the following values:; false - Blanked components are not imported (default behavior).; true - Blanked components are imported.
comps_by_layer: The flag that specifies whether separate components are created for each layer of imported CAD model. This member can have one of the following values:; false - No separate components are created for layers (default behavior).; true - Separate components are created for different layers.
get_assm_tree_only: The flag that specifies whether to import or only create the assembly structure. This member can have one of the following values:; false - Normal import (default behavior).; true - Only the assembly structure and transformation matrices will be provided.
get_abs_matrices: Defines how the transformation matrices are saved when get_assm_tree_only is true. This member can have one of the following values:; false - Relative transformation matrices are saved (default behavior).; true - Absolute transformation matrices are saved.
use_default_reader: The flag that specifies whether to use the default CAD reader or the "other" CAD reader for supported formats. This member can have one of the following values:; false - Use the other reader.; true - Use the default reader (default behavior).

Errors

None.
