DB.refresh_acph5(path, external_sources, input_parameters=None, initialize=False, unit_system_type=None, upgrade_from=None)​

Refresh an .acph5 database (Workbench application mode only).

  • Parameters:
    • path: File path to the .acph5 file.
    • external_sources: Nested dict provided by the ACP Workbench application add-in containing all the : external source’s information (the file path, whether the source was modified, its ID, etc.).
      • The dict keys are: [model, materials, cad_geometries, imported_solid_models, pre_db, solutions].
      • Values for model and materials are dicts with the following fields [path, external_id, modified].
      • Values for cad_geometries, imported_solid_models and pre_db are list

      of dicts with fields [name, path, external_id, modified].

      • Values for solutions are dicts with fields [name, path, external_id, modified, renumbering_mapping_paths] where renumbering_mapping_paths is a list of file paths.
    • input_parameters: A dict of pairs (name, value) of the Workbench application input parameters.
    • initialize: Specifies whether the .acph5 database needs to be initialized (for example if the file does not : yet exist).
    • unit_system_type: Defines the unit system of the main/downstream ACP file.
    • upgrade_from: Defines the path of a legacy (.acp) ACP database that has to be upgrade to the new format (load composite definitions and save as .acph5).
