The Intergraph reader uses the intergraph_reader.ini file with the following available options:

 

@AssignPropertiesToComponents

Value

Description

on

Assign properties to the corresponding component (for components which have more than one property, properties are not assigned).

off

Do not assign properties to components (default).

 

@CleanupTol

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.

 

@CreateMetadataForStiffenerNormals

Value

Description

on

Attach some metadata with info about normals to stiffener/beam/ER systems (see Intergraph Metadata Suppport).

off

Do not attach metadata with info about normals to stiffeners/beam/ER systems (default).

 

@CreateMultipleComponentsForLinearMembers

Value

Description

on

Create one component for each member part (default).

off

Group member parts belonging to the same member system based on thickness and diameter (that is, just one component is created for each set of data).

 

@CreateMultipleComponentsForStiffeners

Value

Description

on

Create one or more components for each stiffener/beam/ER geometry (one for each property; that is, if we have flange and web, then two different properties and components are created) (default).

off

Group stiffener/beam/ER geometries belonging to the same root stiffener/beam/ER system based on their properties (that is, just one component is created for each set of property data).

 

@DoNotMergeEdges

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).

 

@ImportCompartments

Value

Description

on

Import both compartments in the IGES files, and compartments defined by “Faces”. The former by importing the geometry, the latter just by creating a metadata (see Intergraph Metadata Suppport); also reference planes are created, because they can be referenced by compartments.

off

Do not import any compartments (default).

 

@ImportIGESCompartments

Value

Description

on

Import compartments in the IGES files.

off

Do not import any compartments in the IGES files (default).

 

@ImportPlateSystemMetadata

Value

Description

on

Create physical properties assigned in the XML to plate systems and bracket children as metadata.

off

Do not import physical properties assigned in the XML to plate systems and bracket children (default).

 

@ImportStiffenerMidSurfaces

Value

Description

on

Create stiffener/beam/ER midsurfaces (instead of solid geometry) in both global and local analysis; also create landing curves in global analysis.

off

Create stiffener/beam/ER solid geometry in local analysis, and landing curves in global analysis (default).

 

@ImportTopologicalProperties

Value

Description

on

Do not import topological property (default).

off

Create reference planes and sketch contours, and attach metadata to the systems which own these properties (see Intergraph Metadata Suppport).

 

@MetadataPrefix

Value

Description

string

Prefix the string to all metadata names. By default, no prefix is used.

See CAD Metadata Naming for more details.

 

@PropertyName

Value

Description

string

Name of the properties created in HyperMesh. It can contain “special” strings that will be replaced with their meaning: <COMPONENT_NAME> is the name of the component to which the property is associated, <PROPERTY_CARD_NAME> is the name of the property card.

 

@ScaleFactor

Value

Description

double

Defines the model scaling factor during import.

Default is 1.0.

 

@Solver

Value

Description

string

Use to choose the solver for which materials and properties are created; currently this string can be “nastran” or “ansys”; the default solver is Nastran.

 

@StiffenerJustCurves

Value

Description

on

Create only landing curves for stiffeners.

off

Create the complete stiffener geometry (default).
