Model.modent_saverepresentation#

Model.modent_saverepresentation(entity, options)#

Saves the contents of a modular entity representation. When entity is a subsystem entity, the saved representation will always be in HyperMesh database format (*.hm).

Parameters:

  • entity (Entity) – The object describing the modular entity to save the representation of. Valid entities are subsystems

  • options (hwString) –

    Optional list of quoted, comma separated option strings.

    • repKey=<value>

    The representation key. This is unique per subsystem.

    • filepath=<value>

    The full path and file name of the representation file.

    • repcomment=<value>

    The comment to add to the representation object.

Example#

Save the contents of subsystem with ID 1 as a representation with key “crash5” in location “C:/representations/Subsystem3_Crash5mm.hm”#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.modent_saverepresentation(
    entity=ent.Subsystem(model, 1),
    options="repKey=crash5, filepath=C:/representations/Subsystem3_Crash5mm.hm",
)
