Value

Description

on

Store non-manifold geometry in one disjoint feature.

off

Split and store non-manifold geometries as separate joint shell features (default).

Value

Description

flatten

Write entities in all components to a single component.

hierarchy

Single level assembly with each component as a child (default).

Value

Description

all

Export all geometry (default).

displayed

Export displayed geometry only.

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.

Value

Description

None

No special layer handling is performed (default).

ComponentID

The entities in each HyperMesh component will be assigned to the layernumber in the STEP file corresponding to that component ID.

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.

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.

Value

Description

on

Remove the metadata prefix for export.

Meaningful only if @MetadataPrefixFilter is enabled and non-empty.

off

Do not remove the metadata prefix for export (default).

Meaningful only if @MetadataPrefixFilter is enabled and non-empty.

Value

Description

string

String to use for the AUTHOR field in the STEP header.

Value

Description

string

String to use for the AUTHORIZATION field in the STEP header.

Value

Description

string

String to use for the ORGANIZATION field in the STEP header.

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 surfaces, effectively neglecting connectivity.

Value

Description

Microns

Millimeters

Centimeters

Meters

Kilometers

Microinches

Inches

Feet

The unit system to use for export.

Value

Description

string

The STEP version to use for export. Valid versions are AP214 (default).

Value

Description

string

Specify colors for the geometrical entities during export.  Colors are supported at the component level only, whereas individual entity colors (points, lines, surfaces, solids) are not supported.

Valid values are Component (default) and Metadata.

Value

Description

string

Specifies the metadata to use for coloring entities.

Default is COLOR_RGB.

Meaningful only if @WriteColorFrom = "Metadata".

Value

Description

string

Specifies the metadata to use for naming entities.

Default is TAG.

Meaningful only if @WriteNameFrom = "Metadata".

Value

Description

string

Specify names for the geometrical entities during export. Names are supported at the component level only, whereas individual entity names (points, lines, surfaces, solids) are not supported.

Valid values are Component and Metadata (default).
