export_solid_models

Model.export_solid_models(directory=None, prefix='ACPSolidModel_', delete_existing=True, formats=['cdb', 'h5'], normalize_filename_for_cdb=False)​

Save solid models to files. Function is used within the Workbench application updates.

  • Parameters:

    • directory: Directory to save the models.

    • prefix: Prefix of the model. Default “

      ACPSolidModel_

      ”.

    • delete_existing: Flag if existing models should be deleted. Default is ‘True’.

    • formats: Available file formats are ‘cdb’ or ‘h5’. Default [‘cdb’, ‘h5’].
