STEPControl_Writer Class Reference

This class creates and writes STEP files from Open CASCADE models. A STEP file can be written to an existing STEP file or to a new one. Translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the STEP file. More...

Detailed Description

This class creates and writes STEP files from Open CASCADE models. A STEP file can be written to an existing STEP file or to a new one. Translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the STEP file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

STEPControl_Writer() [1/2]

STEPControl_Writer::STEPControl_Writer

(

)

Creates a Writer from scratch.

STEPControl_Writer() [2/2]

STEPControl_Writer::STEPControl_Writer	(	const Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > &	WS,
		const Standard_Boolean	scratch = Standard_True
	)

Creates a Writer from an already existing Session If <scratch> is True (D), clears already recorded data.

Member Function Documentation

Model()

Handle< StepData_StepModel > STEPControl_Writer::Model

(

const Standard_Boolean

newone = Standard_False

)

Returns the produced model. Produces a new one if not yet done or if <newone> is True This method allows for instance to edit product or header data before writing.

PrintStatsTransfer()

void STEPControl_Writer::PrintStatsTransfer	(	const Standard_Integer	what,
		const Standard_Integer	mode = 0
	)		const

Displays the statistics for the last translation. what defines the kind of statistics that are displayed:

• 0 gives general statistics (number of translated roots, number of warnings, number of fail messages),
• 1 gives root results,
• 2 gives statistics for all checked entities,
• 3 gives the list of translated entities,
• 4 gives warning and fail messages,
• 5 gives fail messages only. mode is used according to the use of what. If what is 0, mode is ignored. If what is 1, 2 or 3, mode defines the following:
• 0 lists the numbers of STEP entities in a STEP model,
• 1 gives the number, identifier, type and result type for each STEP entity and/or its status (fail, warning, etc.),
• 2 gives maximum information for each STEP entity (i.e. checks),
• 3 gives the number of entities by the type of a STEP entity,
• 4 gives the number of of STEP entities per result type and/or status,
• 5 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status),
• 6 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status) AND the list of entity numbers in the STEP model.

SetTolerance()

void STEPControl_Writer::SetTolerance

(

const Standard_Real

Tol

)

Sets a length-measure value that will be written to uncertainty-measure-with-unit when the next shape is translated.

SetWS()

void STEPControl_Writer::SetWS	(	const Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > &	WS,
		const Standard_Boolean	scratch = Standard_True
	)

Sets a specific session to <me>

Transfer()

IFSelect_ReturnStatus STEPControl_Writer::Transfer	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	sh,
		const STEPControl_StepModelType	mode,
		const Standard_Boolean	compgraph = Standard_True
	)

Translates shape sh to a STEP entity. mode defines the STEP entity type to be output:

• STEPControlStd_AsIs translates a shape to its highest possible STEP representation.
• STEPControlStd_ManifoldSolidBrep translates a shape to a STEP manifold_solid_brep or brep_with_voids entity.
• STEPControlStd_FacetedBrep translates a shape into a STEP faceted_brep entity.
• STEPControlStd_ShellBasedSurfaceModel translates a shape into a STEP shell_based_surface_model entity.
• STEPControlStd_GeometricCurveSet translates a shape into a STEP geometric_curve_set entity.

UnsetTolerance()

void STEPControl_Writer::UnsetTolerance

(

)

Unsets the tolerance formerly forced by SetTolerance.

Write()

IFSelect_ReturnStatus STEPControl_Writer::Write

(

const Standard_CString

filename

)

Writes a STEP model in the file identified by filename.

WS()

Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > STEPControl_Writer::WS

(

)

const

Returns the session used in <me>
