Highlights

hmtoggle_arrow1Import and Export Options

All CAD import and export options can now be specified on the command line via the new *geomimport and *geomexport commands, as well as within the respective .ini files. This allows for complete customization of the CAD import/export behaviors from within a Tcl script. Future work will include exposing all of the options within the GUI.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1SolidWorks and NX Third-party Reader Robustness

SolidWorks import, and NX import via the third-party reader, have been significantly improved via the use of native Parasolid libraries.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Scaling of CATIA Infinite Planes

Infinite planes are now sized relative to the model size during import. The default sizing is 5%, and this can be customized via the @InfinitePlaneSizeFactor option in the ct_reader.ini file.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1NX Native Reader Improvements
•ExtAPI and cadassm are now supported for this reader.
•ORIGINAL_ID metadata creation is now supported. This is controlled by the @OriginalIdAsMetadata option in the ug_reader.ini file.
•Geometry created via the WAVE geometry linker can now be imported. This is controlled by the @ImportWaveLinkedGeometry option in the ug_reader.ini file.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Metadata Export

New options have been added for controlling which metadata is exported, based on a prefix (@MetadataPrefixFilter), and whether that prefix should be removed during export (@RemoveMetadataPrefix).

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Resolved Issues
•Resolved an issue with CAD metadata handling causing a crash on HyperMesh binary save and/or load. After merging two or more CAD files containing metadata into the same session, saving the HyperMesh binary file would potentially result in a crash. If the save was successful, those files would potentially crash upon load. These issues have all been resolved. Any existing binary files that exhibited the crash due to this issue can also now be successfully loaded.
•Resolved an issue where under certain conditions, an invalid topology was created during CATIA composites import. This would potentially lead to a crash upon saving or loading the HyperMesh binary file. These issues have all been resolved. Any existing binary files that exhibited the crash due to this issue can also now be successfully loaded.
