Description

Inputs an ASCII analysis input deck and for certain import translators invokes a Part Browser to allow selecting various options while importing the chosen model.

Inputs

programname
The name of the translator program.
filename
The file name containing an input deck.
overwrite
  • 1 - If HyperMesh should overwrite any existing IDs,
  • 0 - If HyperMesh should offset.
min_edge_length
Not used.
cleanup_tolerance
  • If < 0, use automatic cleanup tolerance.
  • If = 0, do not cleanup topology.
  • If > 0, use this as cleanup tolerance.
blanked_component

  • 0 - Do not create an empty component.
offsetflag
Apply a user-defined offset.

Example

To read the Abaqus input file named model: 
*feinputinteractive("feinput/abaqus", "model",0,0,-0.01,10.0,0)

This command is very similar to *feinput(), and functions identically in most cases. It is only in cases of import translators such as UG that this command uses a Part Browser, rather than using the same options to import an entire model.
