Model.mergefile#

Model.mergefile(filename, geom_merge, fe_merge)#

Merges (imports) the referenced HyperMesh database file (*.hm) into the current model. Any entity names or IDs in the incoming file are renamed/renumbered with the least disruption possible.

Parameters:

  • filename (hwString) – The full path and filename of the database file.

  • geom_merge (int) –

    A flag indicating whether to import and merge geometry from the incoming model. If both geom_merge=0 and fe_merge=0, this behaves like Model.readfile(). Valid values are:

    0 - Do not merge geometry

    1 - Merge geometry

  • fe_merge (int) –

    A flag indicating whether to import and merge FE from the incoming model. If both geom_merge=0 and fe_merge=0, this behaves like Model.readfile(). Valid values are:

    0 - Do not merge FE

    1 - Merge FE

Example#

Merge/import the file named “C:/temp/Rail2.hm” to the active model (i.e. HyperMesh window)#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.mergefile(filename="C:/temp/Rail2.hm",geom_merge=1,fe_merge=1)
