Model Simplification Import Examples

Simple - just do it

import 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

using namespace 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

!simplifierObj= object MODELSIMPLIFIEROBJ()

!simplifierObj.setInputFilePath(|InputCADFilePath|)

!simplifierObj.setSimplificationLevel(1)

!simplifierObj.setCadFormat(|STEP|)

!simplifierObj.setImportModelAs(|SUBE|)

!simplifierObj.simplifyandimport()

Querying several of the default parameters

import 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

using namespace 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

!simplifierObj= object MODELSIMPLIFIEROBJ()

Q var !simplifierObj.getOutputFolderPath()

Q var !simplifierObj.getSimplifcationLevel()

Batch process using do loop

define function !!ModelSimplifcationBatchProcess()

!inputCadFiles = ARRAY()

!inputCadFiles.append(|InputCADFilePath|)

!inputCadFiles.append(|InputCADFilePath|)

!inputCadFiles.append(|InputCADFilePath|)

!inputCadFiles.append(|InputCADFilePath|)

using namespace 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

!simplifierObj= object MODELSIMPLIFIEROBJ()

!simplifierObj.setSimplificationLevel(1)

!simplifierObj.setCadFormat(|STEP|)

!simplifierObj.setImportModelAs(|SUBE|)

do !cadFile from 1 to !inputCadFiles.size()

!simplifierObj.setInputFilePath(!inputCadFiles[!cadFile])

!isSuccess = !simplifierObj.simplifyandimport()

if(!isSuccess) then

$p Simplification ran successfully.

else

$p Simplification ran into an error

endif

enddo

Endfunction

TTY batch mode

import 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

using namespace 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

!simplifierObj= object MODELSIMPLIFIEROBJ()

!simplifierObj.setInputFilePath(|InputCADFilePath|)

!simplifierObj.setSimplificationLevel(1)

!simplifierObj.setCadFormat(|STEP|)

!simplifierObj.setImportModelAs(|SUBE|)

!simplifierObj.simplifyandimport(1)

Import simplified (.fbm) file

For import of simplified (.fbm) file using E3D Command window or in TTY mode, an IMPORT OPTION specifying Simplification Engine Path need to set.

Example:

IMPORT OPTION |AVEVA_SIMPLIFICATION_INSTALLATION| |<Simplification_ Engine_Path>|

Default location of installation of Simplification Engine is: C:\Program Files\AVEVA\ModelSimplification.2.1.0\Engine

After this IMPORT OPTION is set, PML callable Model Simplification object can be used for importing the simplified (.fbm) file or we could use the raw native IMP Command to do the import of simplified (.fbm) file.

IMP FBM “<Simplified_fbm_file_path>” LOG BRIEF “<Log_file_path>” BUCKETSIZE 100

Note:
In the Appware and in E3D Command window you need an import command (to load the dll containing their PMLNetControls)

import 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

This is usually done once only, probably in application start-up macro. You can have it in your form, but you will then need to handle the error which will occur if the import is executed more than once:

import 'Aveva.ModelSimplification'

handle (1000.0)

-- Aveva.ModelSimplification dll already loaded

enhandle
