Model.writefile

Model.writefile(filename, do_not_write_facets)

Saves a binary HyperMesh database.

Parameters:

• filename (hwString) – The full path and filename of the database to save. If this file already exists, HyperMesh prompts to overwrite the file. When running in batch mode, run Model.hm_answernext(). Must be used to specify a yes/no answer to this function when the file already exists.

• do_not_write_facets (int) –

  0 - Geometry facets are written to the file, leading to a larger file but faster load time.

  1 - Geometry facets are written to the file, leading to a larger file but faster load time.

  2 - Geometry facets are not written to the file, leading to a smaller file but longer load time.

Examples

Save the model to a file named “ mymodel.hm “ in the current working directory

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.writefile(filename="mymodel.hm", do_not_write_facets=0)

Save the model to a file named “ C:/mymodel.hm “

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.writefile(filename="C:/mymodel.hm", do_not_write_facets=0)

Overwrite an exist file named “ C:/mymodel.hm “

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.hm_answernext(answer="yes")
model.writefile(filename="C:/mymodel.hm", do_not_write_facets=0)
