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.
