Create a new solid model.

• Parameters:
  • name: The name of the solid model.
  • id: The ID of the solid model.
  • active: Active status of the solid model.
  • external_file_path: File path to the external source.
  • unit_system: Unit system of the imported mesh.
  • format: File format of the external source.
  • use_default_element_index: Consecutive element numbering if set to true.
  • element_index: Start index for first element (only relevant if use_default_element_index).
  • use_default_node_index: Consecutive node numbering if set to true.
  • node_index: Start index for first node (only relevant if use_default_node_index).
  • use_default_section_index: Consecutive section numbering if set to true.
  • section_index: Start index for first element (only relevant if use_default_section_index).
  • use_default_material_index: Consecutive material numbering if set to true.
  • material_index: Start index for first element (only relevant if use_default_material_index).
  • use_default_coordinate_system_index: Consecutive coordinate system numbering if set to true.
  • coordinate_system_index: Start index for first coordinate system (only relevant if use_default_coordinate_system_index).
  • use_solsh_elements: The solid model is created out of solsh elements.
  • drop_hanging_nodes: Whether to skip mid-side nodes that are not shared by adjacent elements. Only relevant when the object has applies cut-off geometries and a quadratic mesh.
  • use_solid_model_prefix: The name of the solid model is used as a prefix for all components written to the *cdb file.
  • write_degenerated_elements: If false, degenerated (homogeneous) elements are not exported.
  • delete_bad_elements: Boolean for whether to delete the erroneous elements.
  • warping_limit: Warping limit factor used to detect erroneous elements.
  • minimum_volume: Minimum volume of solid elements. Default is ‘0’. Elements equal or smaller than this limit are removed from the solid model.
  • global_cut_off_material: Defines the global cut-off material.
  • transfer_all_sets: Defines whether all edge and element sets should be transferred to the solid model.
  • transferred_element_sets: Element sets to transfer to the solid model if transfer_all_sets is set to false.
  • transferred_edge_sets: Edge sets to transfer to the solid model if transfer_all_sets is set to false.
• Returns: The created imported solid model.
