Value

Description

string

Import only the specified layer filters.

The string should be in the form of "%filter1%filter2%filter3". The filter names are listed, separated by a character that you choose, and inserted as the first element of the string. The example uses '%' as a separator. You can choose another character as a separator, in case one of the listed attribute names contains '%'. HyperMesh will recognize it as it is the first character of the string.  A special value of DEFAULT can be used to indicate the default layer filter.

Value

Description

on

Import all generic attributes (global and related to single entities) as metadata.

<name>

off

Do not import generic attributes.

part

Import just the global attributes (the attributes related to the part as a whole) as metadata.

<name>

entity

Import just the entity attributes (the attributes related to single entities) as metadata.

<name>

%attribute1%attribute2%attribute3

Import specified generic attributes as metadata.

The attribute names are listed, separated by a character that you choose, and inserted as the first element of the string. The example uses '%' as a separator. You can choose another character as a separator, in case one of the listed attribute names contains '%'. HyperMesh will recognize it as it is the first character of the string.

<name>

Value

Description

0

Import B-rep or tessellation, with B-rep given preference. If B-rep is present, tessellation is not imported (default).

1

Import both the B-rep and the tessellation.

2

Import only the B-rep. If B-rep is not present, nothing is imported.

3

Import only the tessellation. If tessellation is not present, nothing is imported.

Value

Description

double

A negative value (default) means to use the auto cleanup tolerance.  A value greater than the calculated auto cleanup tolerance means to use that specific tolerance.

Refer to the CAD Cleanup Tolerance section.

Value

Description

on

Read color attributes of geometric entities as metadata.

COLOR_RGB

off

Do not read color attributes (default).

Value

Description

on

Preserve the original geometry edges, instead of merging them together during the import cleanup phase.

off

Merge edges together during the import cleanup phase (default).

Value

Description

string

Import only the specified parts.

The string should be in the form of "%part1%part2%part3". The part names are listed, separated by a character that you choose, and inserted as the first element of the string. The example uses '%' as a separator. You can choose another character as a separator, in case one of the listed attribute names contains '%'. Engineering Solutions will recognize it as it is the first character of the string.

Value

Description

on

Import the model for visualization purposes only.

This skips many of the import steps (cleanup, stitching, solid creation, and so on) to provide a faster import. The resulting model may not be suitable for other uses.

off

Import the model in the normal fashion (default).

Value

Description

on

Import free curves (wireframe entities) into the model (default).

off

Do not import free curves.

Value

Description

on

Import free points into the model (default).

off

Do not import free points.

Value

Description

string

Name of the CAD attribute containing the material name info of the current part. Default is "P_MAT"; meaningful only if @AttributesAsMetadata = "part". It only generates temporary data used by the ExtAPI cadassm tool.

Value

Description

string

The string is prefixed to all metadata names. No prefix is used by default.

See CAD Metadata Naming for more details.

Value

Description

string

Name of the CAD attribute containing the part number info of the current part. Default is "DB_PART_NO"; meaningful only if @AttributesAsMetadata = "part". It only generates temporary data used by the ExtAPI cadassm tool.

Value

Description

on

Read surfaces, but do not create solid entities.

off

Create solid entities (default).

Value

Description

on

Split periodic surfaces to improve the quality and robustness of the import (default).

off

Import periodic surfaces as a single surface with a seam edge.

Value

Description

on

Create entity name as metadata (default).

TAG

FromBody

Take entity from its parent body and create it as metadata.

TAG

off

Do not read tags.

Value

Description

string

Name of the CAD attribute containing the thickness info of the current part. Default is "P_GAUGE"; meaningful only if @AttributesAsMetadata = "part". It only generates temporary data used by the ExtAPI cadassm tool.

Value

Description

string

Name of the CAD attribute containing the UID info of the current part.

Default is "UID"; meaningful only if @AttributesAsMetadata = "part". It only generates temporary data used by the ExtAPI cadassm tool.
