Model.createsolverkeyword

Model.createsolverkeyword(keyword, type=EntityFullType(), includeFile='')

This function creates an entity that has a mapped solver keyword by just specifying the keyword. The keywords are sourced from the solver browser.

Parameters:

• keyword (hwString) – The string specifying the keyword.

• type (EntityFullType) – Specifies the entity type if the mapping is predetermined. If the same keyword is featured in two different entity types, then the entity type can be specified.

• includeFile (hwString) – Specifies the include file name in which this keyword is to be created. If include file name is not specified it will be created in current include.

import hm
import hm.entities as ent
