Model.hm_comparewritepairedcomps#

Model.hm_comparewritepairedcomps(filename, match_type)#

Writes a list of pairs of source and target components to an output file.

This helps extract relevant compare component data from Model.hm_comparewriteresults(). This must be preceded by a call to a relevant hm_compareentities function.

Parameters:

  • filename (hwString) – The full name and path of the file to write the results to.

  • match_type (int) –

    The type of match to query for the area. Valid values are:

    0 - Unmatched

    1 - Topological

    2 - Intersected

    3 - Overlapped

    4 - Matched

Returns:

Example#

Compare elements from componentswith IDs 1 and 2 and write the paired results to “ C:/temp / paired_compare.txt “#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

comps1 = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component,[1])
filter1 = hm.FilterByCollection(ent.Element, ent.Component)
elems1 = hm.Collection(model, filter1, comps1)

comps2 = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component,[2])
filter2 = hm.FilterByCollection(ent.Element, ent.Component)
elems2 = hm.Collection(model, filter2, comps2)
