Hypermesh External API


How to open external instance of HM using Visual Studio? I'm trying examples provided in the documentation of HM Ext API but not getting success ? Can somebody help me in writing a sample program to start the session, import the model and end the session. ?
Thanks!!!


Can you please share the demo code which worked for you and the process to link the library files?
I'm getting the following Error: 'module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' ' . I tried to get Visual studio 64-bit, but didn't get, so how you did? Whether you had tried with 32-bit hypermesh?


I did in the same way you suggested, but now there's another issue, debugging is taking a lot of time.


I'll share the below code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include 'hm_extapi.h'
#include 'hm_extapi_error.h'
HM_ExtAPI* xAPI = NULL;
void open_api();
void close_api();
int main()
{
open_api();
bool model = false;
model = xAPI->ImportModel(HM_ExtAPI::AUTO, 'D:\veer\HM Files\HSG.stp', true);
printf('model value is %B\n',model);
close_api();
scanf('Enter something to continue');
return 0;
}
void open_api()
{
int err_code;
printf('Opening API...\n');
xAPI = Open_HM_ExtAPI(&err_code);
if (err_code != ERR_XAPI_SUCCESS)
{
printf('Error \n');
}
printf('API ready.\n');
}
void close_api()
{
if (xAPI)
{
printf('Closing API...\n');
Close_HM_ExtAPI(xAPI, true);
printf('API closed.\n');
}
}
I have linked the required library and header files, and trying to run simple code to import the model,
Can you please briefly share the whole process?
Thanks!!!


Hey Tinh,
I was able to create session of hypermesh. Can I get the Id's of components , surfaces only using external api functions?
Thanks!!

Hi veer/tinh
I'm trying to compile demo codes in visual studio but can't able to do anything.
after running the code I'm getting this message shown in the pic
I don't have much programing skills will you guys please help me.
Thank you
What do you mean 'not getting success'?
You should find out the cause first instead of searching a new one.
I did that example and it works!
Check your VS version, it must be compatible with the one built HM
